A friend of mind just purchased 40 acres of 15 year old pines and thinking of thinning it. Does anyone know what the value of timber has been going for

So if he would thin 40 acres of 15 year old pines what kind of return would he be looking at in a ballpark kind of figure

So if he would thin 40 acres of 15 year old pines what kind of return would he be looking at in a ballpark kind of figure In my area would be $5 a ton for landowner. 28 ton a load =$140 a load for landowner . Usually get 2 to 3 loads taken out an acre on first thinning = $280 an acre . Total maybe $10k to 12k but not any more than that . Lots of variation in how thick stand u got . How far to mill that will take ur wood . Some loggers only pay $1-4 a ton. Here we are close to pca mill and most pay $5 a ton. Another problem mills got quotas even though it winter time . Like someone said good luck getting someone thin small tract like 40 acres unless it’s a small crew . That at most 100-120 loads total . Some crews get that in a week.

This is good information, except for the volume that will potentially be harvested from a first thinning. Generally, a typical first thinning will only yield 30-50 tons/acre.

He’s going to be lucky to get it thinned for free. I know people first hand that have given the pulp away for free just to free up the basal rate/acre for better saw timber. We do a little better than free down here……. Or at least I’ve heard

I clicked here hoping we were talking Hardwoods, I’ll let y’all carry on with the pine. 😁

We do a little better than free down here……. Or at least I’ve heard Even so. A couple of thousand dollars isn't ground breaking when you're talking about a $100k property. It's less than either realtor made on the transaction. There's just not a lot of money in thinning in most areas. Especially for a small tract of that size.
