A landowner wants to know timber price trend information for Tennessee, to help them make harvesting decisions.
Price information for logs is reported in the Forest Products Bulletin. Stumpage prices (money paid to the landowner) are up in inflation-adjusted dollars over the past 25 years; however, as the warning goes, 'past performance is no guarantee of future results.' Timber prices are highly variable, so it is extremely difficult to 'time' a harvest to maximize monetary returns. The health and productivity of the forest should also be important factors in harvesting decisions.
