You got to call it a "pine plantation" to fit in with the southern lingo. I have 8 acres and about 6.5 of it is old pine plantation with Loblollys planted about 8-10' apart. Need to thin it and am looking into a sawmill for the bigger trees. It is much nicer wood than I expected. Most people plant Loblolly and harvest it in 15-20 years for pulp. My trees are about 26 years old now.

The sign in front of my place put up by some South Carolina entity (don't remember which from my computer chair) says "TREE FARM" so I was just going by that. Apparently back in 1984 when Hugo came through, it about leveled the place, so after they cleaned it up they planted the Loblolly's . A lot of mine are saw timber. I've a couple areas that could use thinning but they make such a mess of things when they do it I'm hesitant to let them do it.

We've talked about it before, I think...
Your firewood workflow and equipment vs mine is entertainingly different.

Chainsaw and standalone splitter is about it. You haul in 6' sections and have that big chop saw and everything looks to run off the tractor, etc.
Just entertaining to me....

My way is old fashion, almost everybody uses firewood processors.

Whats that for?

To make cuts so it dryers faster, in the old days all farms produced cheese, white and brown, had small summer farms in the mountains and the amount of firewood needed was enormous, I have five such summer farms but of course not used anymore. So they cut firewood all year and this was a method to dry thin wood fast
