Educate yourself. Talk to someone that has had some logging done and ask if he/she can recommend an honest logger. Talk to forest service. Get all agreements in writing. Read the contract carefully. If you don't understand something, ask a knowledgeable person. It would be better if you are living on the property. There are plenty of loggers who need to be watched. Even then they can and some will steal timber. Know what is on each load. Pulp, chip & saw & saw logs all have a different price. Even logs are broken down into pine or hardwood. Pine usually pays more than hardwood. If you can't be on sight, you can have the timber cruised (estimated) by a forestry company. Make sure they only cut what is specified. It is hard to keep a thief honest. They deal in timber on a daily basis and most landowners don't. The dishonest loggers know this and an uneducated landowner is prey. They can read a landowner real quick. If you don't have time to learn about the timber business, get a forestry company to deal with the loggers. If you only have a small amount, you may want to agree on a set price, then get the money up front if at all possible. Good luck.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
