Book excerpt: Excerpt from Markets for Forest Products in Southeast Georgia Certainly the most practical way to sell timber is to market the product which will net the largest return, without overcutting or other wise impairing the Opportunities for future sales. What that product may be will be determined by the quality, size, and Species composition of the timber stand and by the markets which are available. Often it develops that sales of two or more products, such as poles and saw timber, or veneer logs and pulpwood, will yield a larger aggregate return than the sale of one average - quality product. Much of the farm woodland in South east Georgia lends itself to such combined sales, but to take advantage of this fact the owners must determine what products their individual stands are capable of producing, the location of markets for such products, and the price each prospective buyer will pay. Table 2 on pages 4 and 5 lists the average prices that were paid for various species and products in February 1949. Since then, a slacken ing demand for many finished wood products and the presence of increasing amounts of timber on the market have caused a reduction in the prices being offered for stumpage and rough forest products. It should also be remembered that stand quality, topography, length of haul, and other phys ical factors all exert an influence on the price a buyer can afford to pay. For these reasons, the chief usefulness of the prices shown is for compar ing products and Species. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
