Timber Theft Information

[Frankenkubota]

I know a prof at a&m, genetic engineering. Quite a place. He said he can grow 8 legs on a hog, lots of ham there.

My nephew started at QB for them a while back but no more details except.......

You should see the locker room.....is there something better than 5 star?

I own a tree farm so I have heard lots of nasty stories about loggers and the lies and the mess they leave.

I don't really own the trees anyway, i'm just taking care of them for a while.

Similar problems around here as well.

I sold some timber and every logging truck that left, i took a picture of the truck and stamp. Got some hard looks but i got paid in full.

Sometimes you have to look out for yourself.

No different (around here) than getting a load of something on a dump truck. Climb up, take a look and ASK QUESTIONS. he people not asking any questions are gonna be the first to get fleeced.

I sold 31 black walnut trees after buying my 19 acres in Michigan. Contract looked pretty legitimate but had a couple vague terms. I had my questions about them answered verbally, and got a nice handshake and smile to seal the deal. You can guess what happened next.
$2500 in new "cutting expenses" appeared after harvest. Numbers were all cooked to make it seem like little profit was to be had. I got my guarantee pay amount (about 40%) and then they pretended there was nothing to share above that. Had to threaten to sue in small claims court to get up to 50% of the proceeds. Dude acted like I was some sort of snake to dare expect to be paid the fair contractual amount for my trees. He burned his own bridge, too, since the harvest went well, minimal mess, quick and on time, and I was going to hire them back again in 10 years for another select cut. Now, no way.

Had an elderly neighbor who got fleeced for clearing 5 acres of trees under the agreement that they simply be “gone” as they were full maturity and a few fell & blocked her driveway & some too close to the home. Well, they took only the trunks and left slash right where they lay.

Managed to contact area sawmills and one foreman recognized the guy responsible do he drove out to see for himself and was livid. He got on the phone while in his truck to several people and came out to tell the lady that he and the other sawmill operators have decided not to do business with him any longer and apologized but he couldn’t do anything about the slash. He also said he is holding payment for the wood already delivered until it was resolved. Guy simply skipped town and the sawmill gave her the proceeds instead and I cleared up the slash (took a week) for her. Got a box of chocolates shipped from her when I turned down compensation since I told her I was actually having fun doing seat time anyway.

She now turns to me for advice and I happily obliged to look after her after her husband, a CIA Cold War veteran, has passed a year prior. I got to see the mementos and heard his stories. I was in awe of this guy, he makes 007 blush!

It was good you could step in and help her.

Many business have their own little or big way to maximize profits. I was once at a butcher I spoke with at length. Ordered some T-Bones and I asked why he left a strip of white fat on the meat. He just grinned and said "PROFIT".
