Your Land & Timber Investments - When Knowledge Really Counts |
|
Timber values can range from a few hundred dollars per acre to several thousand dollars per acre. It takes a trained eye to evaluate the volume of wood and someone in touch and current with the timber market to be sure that you or your client capture the full value of your timber investment. There are several methods of inventorying timber and several ways to ensure you are getting the highest values for your timber. Green Hill Land & Timber, LLC uses these methods and other tools necessary to inventory or cruise timber. Our initial inspection can generate a lot of excellent information and knowledge that the landowner can utilize. Though we specilize in timberland, farm land and recreational land, it may be that the highest and best use of your land may not be timberland and you need to know that, too.

How Biofuels Benefit by Porter Martin |
|
There is no dought that we, as individuals and a nation, are absolutely affected by oil and enrgy cost. As fuel prices have exceeded $4.00 a gallon, cost of doing business and our personal budgets, have been dramatically affected. Once again, Porter Martin has done an excellent job with his words of wisdom. Our nations dependence on foriegn crude oil, in the short run and the long term, must be harnessed. It is clear that America has the reserves and the technology for alternative means of energy. Porter's article does an excellent job of explaining the benefits, both short term and long, of biofuels. The use of biofuels, as it pertains to our land values, provides further proof that land is a solid investment. Porters attention is directed more on the use of grain but in our local area, we have already noticed activity in utilizing wood fiber as a source of biofuel. This will create stronger demand for land and timber thus affecting value of you land and timber investments. Please enjoy Porter's article and used the link to his company's web site if you wish.

Best & worst of Times by Porter Martin |
|
Here is another of Porter Martin's articles reflecting on "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom..." . My good friend Porter, who I met years ago in the Realtors Land Institute, always finds the golden egg of hope and prosperity in his words. Looking back in history and understanding the ups and downs or cycles of our economy and global economy, helps us gain perspective. This perspective is vitally important as we traverse some very unsettling times. Like Porter reflects, I believe in land as a solid investment that will endure through the best and worst of times and will have no fear of bad news. I hope you enjoy his article as much as I.

Giving Thanks by Porter Martin |
Every now and then we read something that is so moving you want to share it with everyone you know. My good friend Porter Martin with Martin, Goodrich & Waddell, Inc. of the Illinois area with a global reach has written an article for their Fall 2007 newsletter “Seasons” that just has to be shared. Through the years my association with the Realtors Land Institute has provided me the opportunity to meet incredibly talented people like Porter that continually raise the bar of excellence. In a time of media concocted hype, Porter has looked beyond and found a truly inspirational and optimistic view of global demand and a positive outlook for our US Ag Economy. Thank you Porter for letting us share this with our readers.
