If you've got stuff in the 24" to 48" diameter range (not circumference) then you've probably got some very valuable trees. To give you an idea... hard maple and yellow birch were selling as high as $2000 MBF here about 5 years ago. I haven't checked what it is lately but I know it's not anywhere near that. As I recall both Oak and walnut would fall into that same price category for number one veneer logs... So. Now is not the time to sell unless you need to or the stuff is falling down. When you do go to sell, fidn someoen with an ample understanding of how to grade those logs for top grade. How they're cut and how they're handled is vital. They're graded on clear faces (knots, defects, etc) and one wrong cut that includes a defect that could have otehrwise been left out can severly degrade a log. You NEED specific knowledge of grading before you cut... so find a consultant who has that knowledge and can help you. Selling them after that point is probably not too difficult if you have top end stuff. Consultant will know where to sell.
I don't normally disagree with someone suggesting that you do a cruise and price hte stuff before you cut but in this case you need the stuff on the ground before you can properly grade it... then price it. Just take your time and find the right person with the right connections and at the correct time you could realize a lot of cash from that wood.

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
