    New on here but just wondering if someone could give me some advise on what the going rate for forestry is. I have a forestry with a 15k a year premium. There is 9 years of premiums gone. The forestry is very well populated with trees and has nt had first tinning yet. I was thinking of selling and maybe buying some more productive agricultural land. There is aself made road to it. Would appreciate any assistance on this

    If it is softwoods you wont get more productive land than this.But if you want to buy land use premium as repayments and trees as collatoral because the value of the timber is increasing every year and yhe return wont be beaten by anything else except maybe dairying

    No at 10 years assign it a yield class height/average dbh and then you will be able to prescribe roughly the number and frequency of thinning
