They usually work on shares, and ot's traditional in my area, the logger gets half of the sales price.Most of the loggers are also qualified to timber cruise and can usually give you a pretty good guess at what your logs will bring at the mill.It's also possible to sell the trees as they stand to the mill, and they will send their own logger out to cut them.

Another option is to look into taking out ads in industry related news letters & ezines, contact directly the list owners and possibly pull off a JV with them.Sometimes there is just not a clear cut solution for some industries, thats when you really need to look at cross promotional type approaches.

The mortgage is a "construction loan" so I will have to pay to have any work done then go to the bank with receipts and they will cut me a check.
