Excerpt from The Cost of Growing Timber
It is the purpose of this paper to present a method of analysis of theelements of cost in growing timber. The assumptions made are thought to be fair and to approximate the usual conditions under which the various species must be grown. With a right method of computation established those who have need to do so can supply the necessary factors and determine the cost of production for particular cases. With these considerations in mind, the following discussion is given.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a methodology for analyzing the factors involved in calculating the cost of growing timber. The author presents a series of tables that can be used to calculate the cost of growing six important species of trees in the United States: white pine, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, red oak, yellow poplar, and Douglas fir. The author assumes a value of $3 per acre for bare land and a cost of $7 per acre for planting young trees, resulting in an initial investment of $10 per acre. The cost of administration and protection is estimated at 5 cents per acre per year. The author also considers the impact of taxes and interest rates on the cost of growing timber. The author concludes that the cost of growing timber is highly dependent on the species of tree, the age of the timber, and the local conditions. However, the author argues that the cost is generally lower than the current stumpage prices. This suggests that there is a potential for profit in growing timber, particularly for species that are in high demand and have a relatively fast growth rate. Overall, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the economics of timber production.
