Met with the guy yesterday to walk the lines and paint mark trees. Told me to mark the trees I did not want cut, very nice fella. Gave me a pretty basic contract to look over and sign. Felt the prices were fair as far as market value is concerned. Guy has two dozers and has agreed to make a large food plot and boundary road while he is there. He was very informative and said we should be able to get some good logs, lots of trees that will produce multiple 18" boards. Majority elm, sycamore, and hackberry. Will not touch the nut or fruit bearing trees, and also works with the forestry commission and has a crew that will replant hardwoods. My neighbor has overseen the cutting of 3-4 estates behind the levee, and he feels comfortable with this guy. If we do get burned, it won't just be me, but I doubt we have any problem after our meeting.

He came highly recommended from a close family friend as well. Cut almost 300 acres for him. Hope it weighs as well as he projects
