@Vincent Plant many folks are having trouble and without more context to the "how" you are exploring deals or what your goals are it is difficult to provide a solution that serves you. 

I just thought I'd chime in and mention that the Sault is heavily dependent on Essar Steel for jobs, and risks a collapsing economy if the plant were to ever shut down.

USN retiree and got property in New London and planted some seeds in GA.

He lived there for over 40 years and planted many trees throughout his tenancy.

I understand that by starting now and planting seeds along the way, I will be able to reap the fruits in the near future with hard work and consistency.

I love my rentals in Warren and metro Detroit and so do our clients who buy them.Warren has Large Chrysler and GM plants within the city as well as Henry Ford and multiple hospitals.Auto and healthcare are Michigan’s 2 largest industries.

Cleared land where we would be able to set up a you-pick section planted with various berries that could that could yield within a couple years.

Granted I'm biased because I live in Brewerytown and have done several dozen projects in Brewerytown but the reason I chose to plant my flag here ~8 years ago was the location, which can't be beat.

Furthermore, Intel is spending 20 Billion dollars to build two semiconductor plants, and many more great things presently and coming in the future.

@Dan Scarborough  nice outline.. although if your doing a sale in that manner you will have to pay our forester up front for the cruise.. and out our way our growing cycles are more like 60 to 90 years and longer.. replant is mandatory in our area unless your say planting a vineyard or something.. you cant just clear cut and leave it .ERGO there is more timber than there ever has been.. and more coming on line from all the replanting in the 60s and 70s.. in our market if a forester is engaged to set up a sale.. he or she will usually only market to the normal sources IE log buyers and some loggers that buy timber stands ( like I used to do).. public can find a few of them.. but if its a big mature stand competition from a mill is pretty keen.
