Title: New member says Hello
Post by: Firewood Farm on March 23, 2005, 11:22:58 AM
Hello everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member here. Have been reading FF for a couple of months and thought it was time to join the crowd.

I'm a forest landowner in Lancaster County Pennsylvania with 30 acres we live on and have owned since 1990.

My main interests are low-impact forestry management and trying to find the most productive means of managing the farm as a one-man operation.

I look forward to exchanging ideas and opinions with you all.

Joe

welcome aborad!
Maybe we'll chat at Silk City diner someday or pass one another at Shupps Grove or Renningers! I am out that way nearly every week during the summer.

You'll gather a lot of great information here and get to know some really nice guys and  gals.

Talk soon, Jim

Ernie,

I'm one of the crazy ones that loves winter -- no bugs, no snakes, less sweat -- so the tree a constant reminder that winter is on the way. But I do like fall, so maybe a red one is worth consideration.

Welcome Joe!

If a man is in a forest and there's no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?
   

Well duh, of course he is!  :D

Welcome aboard.  This is a great place with good folks and a lot of knowledge.

I lived in Lancaster County during the 80's before moving home to Michigan.  I always enjoyed the country and people.  I imagine there have been many changes.  It is a beautiful part of the U.S.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, Joe ;D

I'm glad someone else likes winter and I got all the same reasons plus being able to ride around on my land without disrupting the soil  ;)    Or getting hung up on the blow-downs and stumps ;D

It's when the rain stops, isn't it??  Sigidi?? Can you qualify??

Seriously, WELCOME Joe!

I haven't been here so long myself, but gee I love it. These guys are a hoot.

It's a good, fun loving crowd, happy to share information and stories.

Welcome Joe,  This is the best fourm I have ever been on. I have learned a lot and laughed a little..
I try to only make serious posts here, but since I am just a dumb country hillbilly they sometimes make fun at what I write.  ;) Thats is alright with me because I laugh at what some of them write also. ;D
boB ,  shucks I spelled my name backwards
