Today on 2 Minutes with the Farmer we are showing you how we collect the money growing on trees "Literally". We are having some of the farm woods logged today and I wanted to show you all the process and equipment. Logging trees is a lot of work. We have partnered with a local Logger and he is supplying all the equipment and labor to get the logs and we are splitting the profits 50/50. We try and manage our forest like a crop here on the farm. We only harvest mature timber and we selective cut in order to improve the wildlife habitat and the forest as a whole.
Thank you for spending 2 minutes with me!

The trend in the future is to invest in land, food that generates yearly income, as wood grows, it is like money in the bank. Teal investments in Central America is also an option for the future.
Teal??? Interesting.
Teak wood, sorry. Ready to harvest in 18 years but maximum growth at 25 years. Very hard wood, used in luxury boats due to its structure not to absorb water, along with its use in furniture.
Very interesting. Wonder if it would grow in Kentucky;)
As far as I know, it is a tropical wood, grows in Thailand, Malaysia, Panama & Costa Rico. There are companies which will sell you an acre and share the profits once the trees mature.
Good Job of being a steward of the land!!
Thank you!!!
Your logging company sounds a lot nicer than the ones around here. As a matter of fact, about 3-4 weeks ago we paid someone with a skid steer mulcher to come and thin our trees and make almost a silvopasture setup. It would be nice to get the money, but loggers around here won't work with you and leave a horrible mess behind, so we paid one guy to mulch it and put it back in to the ground to decompose and feed the ground. It also helps with erosion as we wait for the grass that we just seeded with to grow.
I am sorry you couldn’t find a good logger. We are very lucky. Our guy is great.
Sounds like you are really making your pastures nice.
Awesome way to do it.
Thanks!
