Care of Farm Woodlots Brings Good Results
Foresters urge fencing woodlots from cattle and preventing fire damage. Following simple rules like keeping stock out, limiting cutting areas, avoiding large openings, selecting the best crop trees, removing crowded or inferior trees, and protecting against fire will improve timber yield. Normal growth returns gradually as proper thinning and longer growth periods reduce defects and increase lumber value.
