What, wood now ammo what in the wild wild world of sports is going on.

What the market will bear or bare depending on what you believe is happening to the consumer.

Log prices are low, no correlation. Many loggers have parked their equipment(if they can afford to).

Gas is up from $2.86 yesterday to $2.93 today. Lowest grade.

$4 by the fall with this idiot in office.

Not so on the west coast, many species of timber have nearly doubled in price in the past few months. See my post on page one of this thread.

That's if he lasts that long. Seeing some major slippage and they can't pretend forever.

You don't see much of that around here. When times get hard in the woods locally, a lot of equipment falls to a rash of spontaneous combustion.

You think it gets better if he has to quit?

Yup. Also if anyone hasn't been paying attention go buy some copper, aluminum or steel and let us know how the price of those are doing.

Beans and corn are in lofty territory as well.

Always the same

Not buying it, sounds like fancy book keeping. I’ve spent my life working in the Forest Industry, over 40 years. Started felling timber, logging contractor , procurement Forester, and recently retired Industrial Consultant Forester for one of the largest TIMO’s in the country, based in Jackson, MS.. Just because LP didn’t show a profit 4 out of 5 years does not prove the timber resource end processors are not driving the prices, from stumpage to end product.

Tariffs still in place on Canadian timber another reason.

I've heard that there is no softwood being imported from Russia. Don't know if that was ever much of a factor, but if so, it could explain some of the price increases.

It doesn't matter if you're buying it or not, LP got out of OSB because it wasn't profitable. We lived under constant threat of the plant being shuttered most of the time I worked there. Rather than continue taking a loss on OSB, they decided to retool the plant and produce a product they hope they can sustain a profit with. I was wrong about the amount of the investment, it's 150 million dollars. https://www.wagmtv.com/2021/02/18/1...na-pacific-houlton-mill-in-new-limerick/

There are thousands upon thousands of acres of softwood timber in the southern US that aren’t even worth enough to pay the taxes, so I don’t think that plays into it. I would assume they’re not importing any because there’s already excess here.

Canadians are buying the SYP mills in the south to get around the tariffs.

I don’t know about other places but around here they are building houses faster than before 2008. They are also selling faster than they are building them. I figured that had something to do with prices going up. One builder I talked to said his building package went up 15%

BBBIIIIDDDDEEENNNN!!!

More like millions of acres of softwood timber in the South...

.....and Ive never seen em cuttin it like its being logged right now here in SE Ga.
