Timber thinning and sale guidelines for farm woods
Farrand studies Bushong woods find a mix of valuable mature trees and waste timber plus wolf trees hindering growth. He advises cutting oaks with 20 inch stumps and poplar cherry at 26 inches, otherwise leave trees unless crooked. Use bids from multiple operators and reference Farmers Bulletin 1210 for contracts and scales. Mark trees at four feet and at stump level.
