Some Weyerhauser Lands For Sale. Why?
are these reasons enough for their selling their land:
three thousand dollars per acre of land in the northern half of the state of georgia approximately within 50-100 miles (or however many miles) of the metropolitan atlanta area is seemingly financially better for the owners than the slow demand for wood in order to partially payoff their debt from their mergers and acquisitions i suppose they don't generally sell their lands until the ready timber is harvested (?), or is the demand so low that it's not as important (?) and is now the time to buy land when so much is being offered? and where would you buy if cheap acres of land were available? |

The most likely reason is that urban encroachment is making forest management difficult, while presenting a great opportunity for profit from land sale. in order to partially payoff their debt from their mergers and acquisitions Of fund further acquisitions. Corporations don't have any emotional attachment to a particular parcel. i suppose they don't generally sell their lands until the ready timber is harvested (?), or is the demand so low that it's not as important (?) Probably. You can bet that 90% of the land is in plantations in various stages of growth. and is now the time to buy land when so much is being offered? If you have the money, I would certainly talk to them. There is usually room to do some wheeling and dealing in an 8 or 9 figure deal. I think it was when Louisiana Pacific closed out their Oregon holdings, Roseburg Forest Products bought about 300,000 acres for $245 million. (Going from a memory of a newspaper article from years ago here, so just take this as an illustration). and where would you buy if cheap acres of land were available? Wherever the land was. It's not like you can move it. An hour north of Atlanta doesn't sound bad for a location, though. I have a nephew who lives in that area. Nice country. -- http://home.teleport.com/~larryc |

Wrong on ALL accounts = They went to maximize their profits theought Clear-cuts -= now they need to move on to maximize profits elsewhere! Bullpucky! During these times, Weyerhauser has to use many different techniques in order to maximize their profits. As land closer to cities becomes more valuable, it's good business to sell it and buy cheap forest land father away. They've also been involved in land trades with the USFS to help consolidate their holdings. Yes, they do love their clearcuts but they also reforest them very quickly. The pulp market in the South is quite depressed and it sometimes makes good business sense to sell off acres that are far from the more lucrative sawlog market. What's wrong with businesses that want to maximize their profits? Isn't that the American Way? SOME clearcutting on SOME lands can be accomplished with very little in the way of impacts and reducing the need to overcut on more sensitive lands (like northern Canada). Maybe someday you will learn to see the big picture. Larry, on a mission from God (to educate Americans on forest management) G LOL = You just affirmed everything I said! |
