Thanks again,Since someone brought up age, my parents own the land Dads 96 and ma's 76. Dad's the one calling the shots. I'm trying to help with it, but we don't really agree on the forester. Money is the reason for looking into it. I think what he believes is that the forest will take care of itself after we cut. He's just not into complicated plans. He keeps it simple. Gotta respect that. Wish we could get some of that back these days. He logged in the 80's and things were a lot simpler back then. Can't blame him for wanting to do it the same way, although I know things are more complicated these days. He got the county forester out to mark trees, had a lawyer draw up a contract, then put out sealed bids himself.Now one forester wants 12% of the sale, another a hefty down payment before they'll come out and look. Once he saw the 12% on the contract he was set against it. Says considering his property taxes over the years, he'd break even on the sale if he gave $2000 to a forester. I guess I can see that. I kind of like how simple it was then myself. I'll support whatever decision he makes. Any advice you'd give a 96 year old that might seem practical? Sorry I didn't say so sooner. Thought it was TMI or that it wasn't necessary.Deb
