Profit in Woodland Is Bigger With Selective Cutting
The United States Forest Service finds maple trees under 12 to 14 inches diameter do not pay at sawmills. A 26 inch tree yields about 19 times the lumber of a 9 inch tree, and its higher price makes total value 36 times greater. Selective cutting preserves small trees as windbreaks and speeds growth by reducing competition. Farmers should consult a state forester, state agriculture college, or county agent for guidance.
