Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifteen Years of Management on the Crossett Farm Forestry Forties
Shortly after the Crossett Experimental Forest was established in south Arkansas in 1937, it was decided to study the management possibilities of these small tracts of timber. The first objective was to attempt to change previous cutting practice and see if well-managed woodlands containing a mixture of loblolly and shortleaf pine could not be a very profitable part of the average farm. The second objective was to try to put the timber crop on the same annual-return basis as row cr0ps such as corn or cotton. Back in 1937, these were radical propositions, for timber had never brought the farmers much income and the average farm woodland was badly depleted.
