give your state forestry a call

JIm, always good to have a buyer lined up first - Some markets are still pretty slow. You can have the nicest logs around, but without a buyer, they aren't worth much.

Quite a mix there from cherry to poplar 50 says your gonna give the poplar away, check with the local mills for pricing is the best bet...

Around here the pallet is selling good but I would definately look into cherry prices before cutting them.

I have a buyer with a local mill available and he wants to come out and see whats going on. Definitely seems interested.

I just want to have a way of guaging for myself what some of the stuff is worth. At least sound like I know what Im talkin about.

BTW have about 40 acres of this to selectively clear, so this isnt really a backyard project.

Link to some state/regional stumpage price by species.

Reported prices are delayed and can vary alot within a region.

Veneer grades can flip upside down. If your cherry is F1/F2 you might shop around or hold off for a while.

Northest and CT , in particular, sawtimber prices have been in the dumper for quite a while.

Last year, it was worth more as firewood.
