Quoted: I paid a little more for this tract because unlike the other tracts I have bought up, I can actually log this one during bad weather. 2 of my crews are bogged down in snow, ice and mud. Believe it or not, per acre, white pine will bring the most amount of money. There was one tract 10 acres that was running 45mbf/acre of white pine. The high bid was $67,000

ohh yeah big old white pine is niiiccceee... not much left up here... though Ive seen a university forest stand that was worth about 15k an acre, all 30" + pine and hemlocks
much nicer then the usual spruce fir pulp....
Up here in maine biomass is worth more then pine pulp some places now...
worst operating year ever up here... last couple months have been 2-3x the previous 100 year high for rainfall, everything was shut down.
