About Randal Lynn Guthrie
Randal Lynn Guthrie works through John G. Guthrie & Sons, Inc., a forestry consulting and real estate firm in Wiggins, Mississippi. The firm writes forest management plans "tailored especially to your property," then carries them out under long-term management agreements. Its services include forest inventory and appraisals, timber inventory, reforestation, wildlife management, hunting leases, control burning, and boundary line work. For timber sales, the firm marks and measures each tree, prepares an itemized prospectus, and sends it to known timber buyers. The sale is lump-sum and sealed-bid. The firm requires a performance bond and keeps the right to refuse any and all bids. After the sale closes and the proceeds are collected, it oversees the cutting, makes a final inspection, and requires BMP compliance. Loblolly Pine is the species named. Randal L. Guthrie holds a Mississippi Registered Forester license, an Alabama reciprocal license, and a real estate broker license. The firm states over 100 years of combined experience in forestry among its foresters, by its own count. Its smallest listed tract is 35 acres, more or less, the Neshoba County tract. That is the smallest job shown, not a stated minimum. Stone County is the county the firm is listed for. It suits a landowner who wants a full plan and a sealed-bid sale handled from start to finish, or who is buying or selling timberland and wants a forester who also holds a broker's license.

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.
