What kills me down here is the folks that clear cut hardwood and cut all the 8" to 12 hardwood like oak along the the bigger, often low grade trees. They are cutting a tree that is maybe 25 years old and just about ready to move into a sawlog class not far down the road. They then sell it as hardwood pulpwood for $5.00 a ton and lose 25 years of stand development.
It's not just the south, see alot of that up here with firewood. Those small pole 8"-12" trees that are a future sawlog run through a firewood processor real nice...... The only way to get big sawlog trees, is not to cut them when they are small trees . Simple advice, but seems hard to follow for some.
