Timber Sale Advice From Kansas State Foresters
Kansas landowners should use sealed bids and businesslike terms for winter timber sales to maximize value. Market prices vary by bidder and wood quality, with domestic walnut markets strongest. Written agreements should list sale trees, terms, and include inspections. KSU foresters offer guidance on selecting trees and estimating board feet. A Johnson County harvest showed unique techniques for four exceptional walnut trees, including specialized topping and careful log handling to maximize value.

Feed Grain Shortage Impacts US Markets This Year
Roderick Turnbull of the Kansas City Board of Trade notes the United States faces a tighter feed grain situation driven by smaller crops this fall. Disappearance of corn from July 1 to Oct 1 reached 960 million bushels, down from 1,229 million a year earlier, signaling reduced domestic use and exports and an 18 percent drop in available supplies beginning Oct 1.
