Comments from the 3rd quarter 2003  southern New England stumpage price survey.

 

 

Ø       

Ø      Oak 2 + 3 com lumber prices inching upward, stumpage valves climbing, hardwood logs in great demand from all over.

Ø      Unbelievable demand for seasoned firewood in my area! Not many professional processor type companies out in my area.

Ø      I want to say that the rest of my production comes from land conversion (clearing) which has dropped off and I buy 1 or 2 small jobs when I can get them to keep busy in the winter months.

Ø      My sales are lump sum with a wide species mix so this individual species price survey doesn’t apply.

Ø      Not looking to buy. Land clearing has been good. Strong and wise survive. Let the Big Boys fall. Big difference I.Q. + E.Q.

Ø      Don’t sell too much in period stipulated. Good to know results.

Ø      $370/Mbf stumpage for pruned white pine butts
