Small Woodlots Drive Future Timber Supply
The piece notes three fourths of small woodlots average 60 to 70 acres and many are owned by nonresidents or nonfarmers. It highlights government and industry efforts to teach farmers timber management, including 1937 Crossett Lumber land donation and R. K. Reynolds forestry work yielding over 580 dollars annual value from 40 acres. Florida and other states run youth forestry camps training FFA and 4-H members, funded by forest industries, to promote tree farming as a viable cash crop and future timber base.
