    How many of you all have break up work to do this spring? This last week has put it on my mind a bit. Taylor Johnson

    Hi Taylor,

    I’ve got some weeding and thinning work, and then I think we’re going to fire up the saw mill and make 2 by 4’s out of pulp wood that didn’t move.

    Break up/end of Mud season doesn’t typically come around here until late-April at lower elevations and late-May in the High Country. We still have time to think about it..

    Rick that is a good use of that old pulp, what kind of mill do you use ?
    Scott they put the road bands on here in mid march no matter what the weather is doing. Most times it is a little warm but then it will drop right down to 20 bellow like a shot for about a week or two worth of mornings lol. Some town ships with give you permission to truck but most will not. Taylor Johnson

    We’re still a few weeks away from much of a thaw here. I plan to keep pulling wood, then when we get break up I will split it and saw some logs into lumber as well. I also have several forestry management plans that need to be updated before April….. and then fence to mend, ground to prepare… OMG it can’t be getting that close is it??:eek:
