sale of timber

I own property in bossier parish Louisiana, and i am out of state. I am interested in selling my timber off of the 10 acres i own there. Do anyone out there know the recent timber prices,and a good timber company to deal with. I contacted one timber company out of shrevport they seemed to be interested and said this summer would be a good time to clear the land. Can anyone with knowledge tell me what they should be paying per acre for timber.

 

thank you in advance for your replys

It depends on the timber. for example mixed hardwood is often of less value than managed pine. Scrub pine is going to go for pulpwood prices. Mature managed pine would probably bring the better price.

Additionally you should be aware that if your goal is to clear the land, the cost of cleaning up after the harvest could be higher than the value of the timber.
