The timber game is endlessly interesting...part of what makes it so adventurous...keeps us on our toes and always a weary eye on the markets, up down and all round and we still slog our way thru the woods and take her as she comes...
Thanks for the read!

Quote from article
"Many of the continent's sawmills are currently paying close to the highest sawlog prices seen in at least 17 years, and this is occurring at a time when lumber prices are far from any record highs, and are even declining in some markets. Because of the weakening lumber demand, it can be expected that log prices will soften in the coming months."
This is not this continent. We are at the low end of low. I was hoping that demand in China would improve our markets. But it looks as if closer markets could capitalize.
