What are the rates being paid on pine logging for custom cutting in your areas? We've been offered a half-million board foot of white pine. A good portion of it is large enough to use standard Doyle scale to figure it, but a lot of it is smaller and frankly not worth logging by scale. Do you happen to know what is being paid by the ton or what scale standard is more appropriate for just cutting, trimming and bucking smaller pine , but not skidding? Most of what we do is Hardwood and large Pine, and so I have no idea what smaller softwoods should pay. We need to know what our expenses are likely to be so as to venture a fair and reasonable bid. :-/
