The guy i mention in the last paragraph here, he had a neighbour who retired to the family land on which he had grown up, to the east of the house there was a hayfield that was notably productive when he was twelve to sixteen, he remembered how many bales to the acre they got in certain years, and where the fences were, and the names of his favourite horses, etc ..... well, two corners of that field and all the east side were invaded by the woods that press here on all sides, first broom likely, then douglas fir mostly seeded in, the field got a little smaller over the next fifty years or so .... this irritates our retiree when he arrives home, so he strikes a deal with a gyppo logger of his acquaintance to handle the problem, and make him a buck at the same time ... it was all pretty rich going, but i don't remember exactly the numbers except for one corner clearly defined by old fences, it had been a horse corral - it was slightly less than two thirds of an acre, and i got eleven loads of sawlog off it, they would have averaged around five thousand fbm Scribner, thirty cubic metres roughly, i cut three thirty-three foot logs from more than a few of the tallest, and that was with a seven-inch saleable top on gang logs, there was economic cleanup for pulp logs following ...... no stump had more than sixty-two annual rings.
