The folks who really need to see this video are probably not watching but that is a great video! Thanks for taking the time to help the Tree Huggers get a little more comfortable with clear cutting.
Thanks for the video, Tim. What people don't realize is that reforestation has been going on for years. My Dad worked for a paper company in their resource management division. He was a dozer operator doing the exact thing that you were showing from 1956 until he passed in 1991. His job also included forest fire prevention ( blading fire breaks) and fighting forest fires when needed. He would also build roads for loggers such as yourself to access timber. Once again many thanks for the video. Good memories.
Hey Tim, I shared a link to this video on my Facebook. I've seen many posts where people are bent out of shape because trees are cut for paper and building materials. I decided to link your video so those people might get educated on how it's done. Thanks to Tony for letting you film their planting operation. I really enjoyed the video.
Tim as I told Bobby Goodson here we plant and harvest wheat. The tree huggers need to get real and realize when they buy a loaf of bread it is the same process. The farmer owns the land buys the seed invest many thousands of dollars to plant and harvest the wheat just so we can eat bread. People that want to complain about pipelines need to turn off their heat in the winter time and air conditioning in the summer and quit driving their cars to the gas pump and quit turning the light on at night etc etc. It is a way of life and a way of survival . You are only harvesting trees as the farmer harvest the grain. Thanks for this video. I shared it with my friends and hopefully they will share it with others.
I hate when people are telling land owners what to do with their land. If you want to plant trees for nature and the animals and let it grow to a old forest, that's fine, put your money down, buy the land plant the trees, and pay the taxes. I have a farm, and I have some bad lands that I planted trees on and I leave them for nature. My choice, my money, my land!
My uncles ran G and G Forest Associates out of Biloxi and used 450 Case dozers pulling planters. They planted every winter south to central Ms and Alabama. My cousin and one of his buddies were working as a team planting an overgrown pasture. My uncle said there was a dead mule laying in the field. My cousin worked his spacing out so he could hit it,raised the v blade and let the colltar split it! He almost fell off the dozer laughing as his buddy jumped out of the planter puking and heaving! Good video showing the replanting. My area Central VA is almost all hand planted too although I have seen a few dozer crews a few years ago but it’s not the normal.
Would be interesting to revisit this plot every few years. So many people don’t understand that trees are farmed like crops, and are not just being clear cut randomly. Interesting video. 👍
Cotontop I used to plant trees here in East Central Illinois on they called CRP program and we had to plant the trees at 10 by 10 spacing we planted a mix of hardwood and white pines I help my dad do this for 14 years until they did away with that program it that time we planted over three quarter of a million tree I wish they would bring back that program I really loved doing that work of planting trees they were all bare rooted trees
Thanks for taking the time to show us what happens behind the scenes. Also pretty neat to hear the numbers you throw out to know what goes into producing this timber.
Great video. Glad you show this maybe it will help people understand that you'll are helping not hurting the land. It is good to see how it is done. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and God bless you'll.
Mr. Tim, Thank you for showing us the replanting, it is funny I just asked about that a few videos ago and then you came across these guys..lol Up here in Michigan I have only seen hand planting after seeing those guys in the planting machine I would rather hand plant....that riding backwards and being thrown around like a ragdoll all day would be brutal at best. Thank you again Mr. Tim for all the work you do in videotaping and explaining your industry, I believe you are doing a great service for the industry as well as providing us with hours of entertainment. God Bless Sir.😊
I done rode that ride before for many many acres lol and are those long needle or short and he right that one aggravating thing to keep up with. Those guys like right up the street from me lol right off I-20 I'm in Grovetown GA
Appreciate you sharing this with us! Awesome stuff when you understand how to manage land after timber cut. I want to replenish an area that my family had cut on our family's property. Big Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to do that for us Sir, very interesting to see that! Most of the tree planting that I've seen in Scotland is hand planted altho they do rip the ground first with a machine, sometimes!! Cheers
This is really cool. My mother used to hand plant these trees. She would go out with a huge sack of trees on her back and a hoedad. I think she got payed 5cents a tree. Maybe 15c, I was just a kid though.
Many years ago I was a tree planter in Washington state and later on in Northern California, used hordads and planting shovels. Worked on reforestation and Christmas tree farms. Planted an average of 1000 trees per day up to 1200 per day. We were followed by a forester doing survival plots all day every day. He checked for depth , j roots, loose trees and hidden trees. Boise required a 95% estimated survival rate, Weyco would pay 100% on 89% estimated survival rate. The slope dictated the spacing it was hard work in rough weather at time rain and snow. Back breaking but payed a top planter upwards of 100$ per day. That was 30 or more years ago. I also did weed species spraying burning slash and pre comercial thinning. I also was a chockerman and chaser on landings, bumping knots and limbing/bucking. The PNW where I grew up was some steep areas we did stair step planting, highly specialized reforestation in extreme slopes, this payed much better but was much harder work. Seen the foreman swinging his relative moisture rig to see if we could keep planting due to too low humidity in Nor Cal. So yes I get what you do.
After riding in the planter for 4 months one would need at least 8 months to recover from backaches and whiplash. Ah, the memories, in college I planted shelter belts on farmland. I was amazed the bare roots did so well after just being stuck in a slot. Within weeks, you would be seeing new growth.
@@MrDaniel3105 I am with you, but when people have limited resources and they have a limited education, and they want to provide for their families they will do some unbelievable things, even if it means their bodies are shot by 50. Everything hurts, getting out of bed is a day's work for some.
Really cool to see that done! I looked those guys up, and they are just a few hours north of me here in Georgia. My brother in law was working with some immigrant workers one time and they always made lunch that way. He said one morning there was a goat tied up next to the grub tent, and when they come in for lunch the goat was gone! Said it was some good eatin! LOL
good morning Mr Tim. just an amazing video as always. very educational video bud. thanks for the awesome video. stay strong, stay safe out there and take care fella.
Thanks, Tim for risking life and limb to show us how it all works. I am sure your followers appreciate your efforts as much as I, We don't have snakes here in New Zealand, but where you were walking id imagine them just waiting for you to mosey on by and the ticks. spiders and other creepy crawlers. Stay safe bro and may the force be with you.
When fall planting begins Tim in your area, get a video of that. These videos are a great educational tool for all those who have no idea where any consumer product generates. Keep up the great work 👍
Awesome video. I remember planting pine saplings by hand as a teenager. Daddy gave me $1 a tree. I’m sure it was more than what these guys got, but I like to think he wanted to give me some money and wanted to make me work for it. I’m glad it was in December and not May. South Alabama summers are brutal.
Tim remember that the nay sayers are in the minority. Whatever's the planters do, what you do cutting, the emissions trucking, the water used by the mills, the products produced are all paid for by the customer. He votes with his hard earned cash for a produced he is happy to buy. You would not be in business unless the market wants your product. The customer agrees to all phases of the business. You have nothing to apologize for. I worked for a small 800 ton per day paper mill. We use thousands of tons of wood, chlorine, caustic, chlorine dioxide, Georgia clay, petrochemicals, electricity, bunker oil, rail services, heavy equipment, the labour of a thousand people, etc., etc. to make what the market wanted. No apology here. Keep up the good work. The sidelines are always interesting.
Nick Cox-Exactly right,all off us in our various industries and professions are working in free association towards our mutal benefit by virtue of the price system. I remember the story "I The Pencil" by Lenord Read- ua-cam.com/video/_dBMYvbI_ec/v-deo.html Think of all the thousands of people who's work goes into the most ordinary daily items,none of it arranged by a central planer,yet it all happens because peple need those everyday items.
@cotontop3 what an awesome video man really enjoyed . Thanks for taking the time to make these videos really enjoy watching your channel.. Thanks again
We had a Whitfield tree planter similar to those at the experiment forest i worked at that belonged to International Paper the cab on it was narrower though. It was semi-automatic and kept the spacing between the trees equal. You basically just laid the seeding in a kinda clamp like thing that closed around the seedling. Worked pretty slick. When i first started working there they would ask if anyone who wanted some OT they could plant trees on the weekends and i had college loans to pay. On the planter, not in the tractor. Looked kinda easy. I did it for one weekend. The four inches of padding on the sides should have been an indication on how rough that it was going to be. Four inches was not enough padding. I bounced off the sides of that thing too many times. Those guys earn their money! I was sore for days. Not trying to be a know it all, i just think you might find it interesting, but the seedlings are not really hybrids. A hybrid is a cross of one type of pine with another, say a loblolly and a longleaf. That actually equals a Stromdregger pine. The fourth gen is reference to the breeding of the parent trees. Breeding two third gen parent trees would give you a fourth gen tree. If you breed a 2nd gen tree with a 3rd gen you get a 3.5 gen tree seedling. It can get complicated fast. I worked on a lot of the tree breeding for IP on the 3.5 gen and 4.0 gen loblolly pines between 1994 and 1998 with their forest genetics section at Southlands Experiment Forest. I loved the work but they closed it down and sold the land.
I guessed Southlands before I got to the end of your comment. I live just across the Florida line from there 7 miles East of Chattahoochee and go to Bainbridge quite often. Would be nice to meet up sometime, I'll check your channel for an email address.
This is really good!!Now I know what goes on "behind the curtain" after the tree lot has been harvested.This goes on near the transmitter site-just don't see it since I am on mid shift.Great to see these videos!!
I have seen trees planted in fields with a 4 row tobacco setter (planter) using the two outside rows to get them far enough apart. Beautiful stand of pines in 20 years.
In N Fla, the pulp wood trees are priced by the harvested ton. Pine pulpwood currently is $20/ton for 4Q-2018 and as of 2012, the average clearcut harvest in the SouthEast is 75-100 ton per acre, but this varies greatly based on soil type, climate, and age of timber. So, right now, you can get $1,000-$2,000 per acre. Then, it costs about $250-$300 per acre to site prep (chop), bed up, and replant, and then you can go for 18-20 years until you can harvest again.
The timber company that our hunting land was leased from always had about 10 mexicans with bags walking through the cutovers replanting. Granted it was usually on a lot steeper land than what your showing in the video. This is the first time I've seen these kind of planters. Thats neat.
Cool video! I planted all over Canada for 9 seasons, In B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Nova Scotia. 98 % of the trees I planted were not bare root, I was told that the difference is that the plugs on the root(the soil), We call pods have a 2 to 3 years supply of fertilizer in the soil it self. It gives the tree a head start, and in case it is planted in a poor micro site.
Hello friend , I tried planting pine trees this season and had a lot of them die. Wondering what is the survival rate of the seedlings that you plant in your experience? Thanks
Great video I always wanted to see how they planted trees with machinery. I have witnessed hand planting before on a hunting lease. You are right it will blow your mind how fast them migrant workers go through acreage.
Back in the 90's we were planting 700 per acre. Thinned at 10 years. 2nd thinning at 15 years. Clearcut at 19 years. Total tonnage 151 tons per acre for the 71 acre tract. 30 acre tract was clear cut at 23 years old. with around 190 tons per acre total. They tell me that there are better trees out there to plant now. We will see.
Good video Tim. I see them planting like that a lot around here. Where it is wetter they will row it up and plant the trees on top of the rows. Now you need to get a video of a field being sprayed to burn down the weeds and broad leafs before planting. Around here they either do it aerially or drive a large tanked skidder type of tractor to deliver the herbicide.
Nice! I remember my dad planting thousands of acres of radiate with these in Australia in the 1980s, identical machine almost. Towed with a D3B, then later towed two at once with the D6. Was all good til some bloke got hid hand caught in the chute, then it was back to the shovel
The folks who really need to see this video are probably not watching but that is a great video! Thanks for taking the time to help the Tree Huggers get a little more comfortable with clear cutting.
That's not going to happen. Clear cutting is an abomination against God and nature.

Let them wipe their hind ends with something else for awhile. I'm guessing they'll come around pretty soon. HAHAHAHA. People are so clueless.
My hubby planted trees in Cadillac, Michigan working in the CCCS look that up see how long ago that was. In the 1940's. So even then they deforested.

Thanks to the tree planting company and to you for the videos. Very interesting.
As a Consulting Forester,I appreciate what you do for our industry!
I rode a tree planter my first winter out of school, lasted one week at it. Beat myself to death. That was fourth years ago. I enjoy your videos
Would be interesting to revisit this plot every few years. So many people don’t understand that trees are farmed like crops, and are not just being clear cut randomly. Interesting video. 👍

Thanks again
That was very interesting. I'm really glad I got to see that.
So cool you showed this!

It's really a unbelievable hard and backbreaking job riding that planter behind the dozer..

You got that right. I was looking at another planter that day and they had cushions everywhere inside that thing for his knees and head.
I would not be able to ride in the back for 1 week. After that I'd be running for the boarder I be like let me go home

This was a great video to see. This also educates people who think we just clear cut everything without care.
I’ve seen the pines growing down in the south and often thought about how they planted that many trees. Thanks for the video 👍

We had a Whitfield tree planter similar to those at the experiment forest i worked at that belonged to International Paper the cab on it was narrower though. It was semi-automatic and kept the spacing between the trees equal. You basically just laid the seeding in a kinda clamp like thing that closed around the seedling. Worked pretty slick. When i first started working there they would ask if anyone who wanted some OT they could plant trees on the weekends and i had college loans to pay. On the planter, not in the tractor. Looked kinda easy. I did it for one weekend. The four inches of padding on the sides should have been an indication on how rough that it was going to be. Four inches was not enough padding. I bounced off the sides of that thing too many times. Those guys earn their money! I was sore for days. Not trying to be a know it all, i just think you might find it interesting, but the seedlings are not really hybrids. A hybrid is a cross of one type of pine with another, say a loblolly and a longleaf. That actually equals a Stromdregger pine. The fourth gen is reference to the breeding of the parent trees.

Way to go!!! Thanks for the information and video!!! Bet that smell-a-vision was awesome and something you smell daily!!!

Awesome video Tim, what an education. Good stuff. Keep it up. Have a great day. 👍
Love that you finally managed to catch up with a planting crew. Yep, I’d hate to ride in that planter for too long.
Thanks for explaining the planting process 👍
In N Fla, the pulp wood trees are priced by the harvested ton. Pine pulpwood currently is $20/ton for 4Q-2018 and as of 2012, the average clearcut harvest in the SouthEast is 75-100 ton per acre, but this varies greatly based on soil type, climate, and age of timber. So, right now, you can get $1,000-$2,000 per acre. Then, it costs about $250-$300 per acre to site prep (chop), bed up, and replant, and then you can go for 18-20 years until you can harvest again.
Very good explanation of the process thank you for taking the time out of your busy time to get the video and edit it to post it
glad you got this to show how its done
Another great video Tim!
Good video Tim have a good week stay safe 👍

Outstanding, in new england lots of hand planting because of all the swamps, big tracts are hard to find.
Thanks for this video I been waiting
Hunting deer leases in South Georgia taught me a lot about timber operations
Back in the 90's we were planting 700 per acre. Thinned at 10 years. 2nd thinning at 15 years. Clearcut at 19 years. Total tonnage 151 tons per acre for the 71 acre tract. 30 acre tract was clear cut at 23 years old. with around 190 tons per acre total. They tell me that there are better trees out there to plant now. We will see.
Good video Tim. I see them planting like that a lot around here. Where it is wetter they will row it up and plant the trees on top of the rows. Now you need to get a video of a field being sprayed to burn down the weeds and broad leafs before planting. Around here they either do it aerially or drive a large tanked skidder type of tractor to deliver the herbicide.
This was nicely shown and explained!!!!!
I have been involved in forestry for almost 30 years. The reason we plant fewer trees, at least in East Texas, is because of better genetics.
Thanks for the education!
I just wish some of the hardwood that gets taken would get planted back
This was a dam good video learned somthing today. Pretty cool how they do that in such large scale .
Enjoyed the video! Good one!
We had a guy in a box behind a tractor, plow with tires to roll dirt back in. Rooted also at 500 per acre. That's S MS.
Good video, that poor guy in the back takes a beating, glad you ran up on these guys
Nice! I remember my dad planting thousands of acres of radiate with these in Australia in the 1980s, identical machine almost. Towed with a D3B, then later towed two at once with the D6. Was all good til some bloke got hid hand caught in the chute, then it was back to the shovel
Wish I had every dollar back o spent on hunting leases only to show up and see the land looking like that.
