Production quota

[Al Smith]

It has been mentioned several times that certain hired cutters are required to lay down 2 hundred trees in a normal work day.If that is true,what area of the world is this standard set.
I certainly wouldn't not think in those huge trees of the Pacific northwest.It would seem unlikely in the maples of Ontario.It may be possible in the pines of the Carolinas and Georgia.
Do these fallers also have to limb and buck the logs?
Back in the day when as a teenager when I cut a few thousand osage orange for fence posts,it was not a problem but I don't think that is what was inferred.

I myself have felled over a thousand trees in one day! Of course it was on a thinning project and the most of them were only two to six feet tall...When felling timber, real timber. A dozen or so ain't bad for a six hour day. I've done more and I've done less.
