Wish the government would start issuing tree farmers and foresters (I
mean people who actually are growing trees here vs. those only cutting

??? I have my land in timber deferral and will keep it there as an
option. My property taxes on 93 acres are only a few bucks a year. The
IRS will allow you to deduct silviculture expenses for year after year
without showing a profit, and I can't even remember all the tax credits
and subsidies I discovered when I started researching the matter.

Raising timber starts to pay off when you put the first seedling in the
ground.
