When you begin these market value calculations with actual market prices in your local area from the Market Guide, you can be assured that you are calculating your timber's value based on the most accurate stumpage prices available.

Time your timber sales for maximum profit

Understanding the timber market in your area can help you time your timber sales to get higher timber prices and maximize your profits. This information is essential for making near-term and long-term plans for your next timber harvest.

Determine the value of your timber on the date of acquistion

As with other investments, when you sell your timber you must pay taxes on the profits. To determine the amount of this tax, you must know your cost basis—timber prices on the date your acquired your timberland. Knowing the real value of your stumpage on this date may mean thousands of dollars in tax savings.
