The Bid Box
By Hank Stelzer | MU Extension - School of Natural Resources
I will keep things pretty simple for this installment of The Bid Box. While three bids might seem like a low number to some landowners, especially with today’s relatively strong markets, keep in mind that three bids are better than the one offer you get from the logger showing up unannounced at your doorstep! And with a forester on your team, you are now an informed seller. Knowledge is power! Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri

If you are thinking about selling your timber, contact your professional forester now! Not only will they help you get the highest price for the trees in your woodlots that need to be harvested, but they can help ensure future harvests are profitable too!
