The reason we don't clear cut here contrary to what the west coast retard Green#### thinks is not because of anything they teach in school, or any political claptrap, it's because the small stuff isn't worth anything and it's not worth the time to cut it, our hardwood forests have 100 small trees for every tree that's worth the cost of cutting. Make that 500 if you include the saplings. The amount of labor to clearcut would be 100 times the labor of just pulling the valuable wood. I sell all my wood to a paper company and they don't want the small stuff. Even the firewood guys don't want the small stuff. Firewood guys think any tree under 8 inches is worthless, too much slash to deal with, way too much work. People who want their land cleared have to pay me $3000 an acre to clear it if I keep the wood, and sometimes I don't even get much good wood out of it, the rest we pile up and burn on the guys land. If he wants us to cart it out that costs him another $2000 an acre. So $5000 an acre is the reason we don't clearcut. Very rarely if a guy has old trees and lots of big ones, maybe some good cherry and oak, hard maple, we clear it for free and keep the wood. But never ever do we pay for wood if we have to clear the land no matter how many big oaks he has, they always pay us. I hear out west loggers have to pay for their wood. We get paid twice, once to cut it and once when we sell it. The only time we pay for wood is when they allow us to come onto their property and take only the good logs that we want, and leave the tops and slash on the guys land to rot away, leaving him with a mess of leaners and widowmakers but it all rots down in 5 years. Once again, Green#### is a moron and google#### is just as bad. West coast nancy boys probably.
Hey, thanks for explaining what you do and why you do it. It makes sense now. We all thought you were a logger. We should have known better.
Turns out you're just kind of a landscaper that sells a few trees now and then. We wondered why you didn't know what you were talking about but I think you've cleared that up for us.
Look up "cull" in the dictionary...see if it has your picture beside it.
And the reason you don't have any forest fires? It's 'cause you don't have any forests.
