Starting Time: What's Up With Timber Prices?
Harrison Hood is a Forest Economist and Research Editor at TimberMart-South, a timber price reporting service housed at the University of Georgia. It’s no secret that timber prices have continued to drastically increase. According to recent reports from TimberMart-South, throughout the South “average stumpage prices increased for all three major sawtimber products in the 3rd Quarter.” Furthermore, the “pine sawtimber price increased for the fourth consecutive quarter” and the “pine chip-n-saw price increased for the fifth straight quarter and reached its highest level since 4th Quarter 2007.” Harrison will join us to speak about these prices that will continue to rise and provide some insight on what to expect going forward.
