There isnt much difference here but poplar is $600 and maple is little less on top prices but walnut and white oak are hot. On red oak to get top price we got to haul them and on top price they have to be 16 foot 20 inches on little end thats $1000 and number 2 is $875 I forget the requirments
 
Does anybody have any pricing info for Minnesota. I was thinking of logging off about 20 or so red and white oaks from the old mans land. Just curiouse of what I should expect to get for it? Thanks.

Just call a mill in your area and ask to speak with the log buyer. That way you know exactly what you are getting and not what the state average is. Prices are pretty poor right now on everything. If its your own land just let them stand; trucking is too high and stumpage to low.
 
what are you guys getting paid per board foot?

the mill here in town pays $1.50/BF

TX statewide prices as follows:
for pine sawlogs, it's about $340/MBF

for mixed hardwood sawlogs it's only about $186/MBF
