As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like, “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.
Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have.
Choosing The Best Pine Tree Seedlings
- good opportunity to educate on the different types of pine tree seedlings
How do we know which species is best for our goals?
- Open pollinated – mother known
- Mass control pollinated – both parents known
- Varietal or clones
- best for wildlife
- One of the main reasons people favor longleaf is because of the ability to burn it earlier and more frequently. How do the different species compare in this regard?
- best for total income
- best for soil type
- best for site location
- which species is best for invasive species?
On a normal site, with normal site prep, when will most stands be ready to thin?
What kind of questions should I ask (my forester) about the nursery they are getting seedlings from?
- member of Auburn U research COOP?
- how seedlings are grown
- how seedlings are transported
- good opportunity to share your guidance what you’ve learned about growing pine tree seedlings over the years
