EWING TIMBER CO.
About EWING TIMBER CO.
EWING TIMBER CO. is a forest land management business based in Ruston, Louisiana. They describe themselves as "a full service forest land management provider." L.C. Ewing founded the business in the late 1940s, and they work with private landowners to manage, harvest and replant their land. Their work covers Jackson County. The services they list run from stand establishment through thinning and final harvests. Southern pine and pine pulpwood are the species they name. A harvest plan is drawn up from the first thinning to the final harvest to meet your goals for the stand. Professional, trained loggers do the cutting under the supervision of their forestry staff. On selling, they say they supply all the wood products mills in their region and can match your forest products to a mill, which gives you access to the market. Their own notes say the pine pulpwood market is oversupplied right now, so getting a thinning done can take patience, especially on tracts that must be cut in dry weather. This suits a landowner who wants one firm to plan a pine stand from young trees through the final cut and to handle the mill sale too, and who is willing to wait out a slow market.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
