Southern New England Stumpage Price Report 4th quarter 2007 comments

  • No lots bid on last period. The market seems to have bottomed out
  • The market sucks
  • Not many lots available
  • Does anyone else think that this industry is in trouble??
  • I heard that cherry has also dropped significantly towards/within the Berkshires. The markets are squirrelly big time and will likely be that way for longer than most folks want…
  • Down, down, down
  • Lumber prices way down
  • Currently not logging
  • Dismal market, no end in sight; fuel keeps going up; firewood market flooded. Definitely not in it for the money.
  • Cannot make enough firewood to satisfy
  • Nothing to report; land clearing work only
  • Lumber markets for all hardwood species continue to decline
  • Nothing   good to report
