National Hardwood Lumber Association determines the grade rules. Lower grades used for pallets and tie cuts. Prices are surveyed by Hardwood Marketing groups and published weekly by region. Housing starts and remodeling demand.
- Angie Discuss forester options. DNR as first likely choice. Consulting forester other choice (although limited availability and most work closely/directly with DNR). DNR charges 13%, can mark sale but cannot help select logger or act as landowner agent. Consulting foresters 10-20% of net sale price. Explain a “walk through.”

Identify likely trouble areas and plan for them…. Other concerns and issues : Harvesting during hunting season?...
