The first bit of information we all need to know is What kind of trees are you talking? There is a Big difference in timber prices. Here in NE Kansas I have absolutly no experience in Pine, Fir or other "building" lumber. Hardwoods are what we have to market. Horses would be much more useful in our situation than would be in more of a large volume harvest, though we dont use them nor do I see the need. Talking with the forester is a great first step. I hope the forester is state employed and isnt working on the side of the timber buyers. Our latest harvest (contracted Mar 1 05 to Mar 1 06) was bid cash upfront. Not sure if thats the best way or not but it was my dads decision to make. Veneer hardwood logs should not be harvested 50/50. Recomendations of the forest service is closer to 80 owner, 20 logger on the best logs. Individual trees can be worth $1000. Take your time, talk to lots of people and have a strong contract in regards to damages and ecspecially payment. Timber is big buisness with lots at stake so definitly shop around for your logger. Good Luck Matt
