I'm going to suggest a good resource that every citizen is paying for already. USDA - Natural Resource Conservation Service. Their job is to help landowners develop long term (i.e. 20+ year) farm/ranch plans. This includes timbered property. They look at exactly that, maximize your properties resources with long term sustainability. Oh yeah, and it's FREE! You don't have to pay $12-15/ acre and you get all of the material that this guy is offering to include soils maps and develop the BMPs (which he gets from NRCS then charges you) anyway. You can also enter into conservation programs and get paid through agreements to conserve your property.
My state does this for free also through the forestry division but they work with the NRCS and others if needed
Great Info. You make some of the most helpful videos in the sea of "homestead" videos.
Matt X wow! That is high praise. Thanks!
Man! Thank you so much for your videos. We are selling our home in Baltimore and hopefully moving to wv in 19. Might look into Wvland to help. Your channel rules. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching. Check him out when you are ready. He is really a good guy.
Great info. Thanks.
awesome info!
Lumber/firewood is a great resource and income stream.
Tina Gallagher yes it is. With all the dead ash, we will have more firewood then we can handle for a couple years.
I would be very interested to know the approximate value of any trees you may harvest in the future. ...mainly because I sold a bunch of hard maples, and want to know if I was paid fairly....thanks
Scott B I will share that data when the time comes. There are a great number of variable when determining that of course.
@@RedToolHouse did you ever share this? I'd like to know also.
