Planting, Growing, and Harvesting Trees for Lumber

Casey Hentges takes a complete tour of the process of planting, growing and harvesting trees for lumber.

A lot of environmentalists don't realize that it's to a businesses advantage to have a sustainable resource. As such, buying large plots of land that they can rotate to harvest the lumber while they're planting new crops makes good business sense.

most people don't understand most things

This was among your better interviews. A good cooperative forester, and a good interviewer. Someone asked about stumps. They decay and go back into the soil. Rotting roots leave air tunnels in the soil.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! We appreciate your tips and are wishing you a bountiful harvest this year! Thanks for tuning in! Happy Gardening!

Wow, I learned a lot. That answered a lot of my questions. I’m not sure if I would have learned as much without the interviewer asking those leading questions. Haha nice work.

I was looking for a Tree farming video, this video was great.

Is there any information on if you have a few different plots of forestry land, is it generally better/more sustainable to try harvest these all in the same year or keep harvesting years different for less environmental impact, taking into consideration the plots are in the same area?

[@akmikki3251]

how is the pruning done? and what happens to the stumps?

[@zhuliu]

Great video! Very educational. About irrigation: Cody kind of indicated that it's rare, but some tracts are irrigated. I would like to know more, and actually learn where some are, so I can see the difference. Thank you.

[@muhammadahmadkhalid364]

What happens to the leaves and branches? Are they used anywhere in any industry, left there untreated or dumped as waste?

[@johnvelez3005]

I think part of it rots and it feed the trees

[@muhammadahmadkhalid364]

@@johnvelez3005 Thank you for replying. Have you ever been to an industry? I also think you are right but can you confirm it so it would be helpful?

[@moezswissi8972]

What type of trees are they planting ? What's the name of the trees exactly?

[@larryk9496]

So basically you end up with states with forest only up to about 30 years old in a patchwork. I went down to Broken Bow today and I have to say I thought it looked ugly and scraggy. And all you have to do is look on satellite map and see the quilt look of the clear cutting.

It takes 30 years to grow trees for harvest?

[@redmanrm1]

Who cares

[@TomBTerrific]

You should open your eyes a little wider and visit and unmanaged forest. Thick with smaller trees, briars and lots of fuel just waiting for a lightning strike. Better yet go out to the western United States and check out the scars left from tbe forest fires. Do you cut your lawn? Not exactly natural is it matter of fact the entire neighborhood you live in isn’t natural. Or that car you drove to see the patch quilt of forest in Broken Bow. You should have walked using your thinking process for everyone else. Stop being a hypocrite and realize most of that land is private and owned by someone who cares about it more than you do.

Saves forests

[@chamadda]

This is the exact thing that is saving forests. Tree farms

So how big is a track?

[@richardjhonson6272]

Gotta be 100 acres at least
