prevention if it is growing with it would be impossible but otherwise saw as soon as possible, store in the shade, don't keep very long in hot weather.  Keep off the ground.  Don't cut dead red oak.

Bacteria enter the tree through the roots, so if the tree has it, you cannot prevent it.

How was the air flow around the lumber during the drying process?  If it was not good, you could end up with problems in color almost as bad as if it were tight piled the entire time.

I've seen lumber on sticks next to a barn with no airflow that did not stand a chance to have the moisture blown off the boards.

I know those of you in the lumber biz don't like that mineral discoloration, but I prefer it.  Perfectly pink red oak to me is just not very attractive, but get a bit more color going in it and it peaks my interest.   ;)  I bet you guys can find a customer for that special red oak.

You can Google, "Elder Process", its a patented process that uses a steam boiler kiln to prevent the staining. It was invented by a man in Jasper Texas. There may be more info on the Texas Forestry website.
