East Texas Timber Lease Increases

[marshman]

How many of you East Texas folks with East Texas timber leases got notified your lease is going up? A buddy at work told me Wednesday his north Jasper county lease went up then the next day I found out my south Jasper county lease went up $4000! To offset the cost we’re adding 1 more
Member and paying an extra $50. Now our dues are $850. I always said if they ever get to $1000 I’m done but may not make it that far. One more increase and I think I’m done. That’s just too much money for a SETX lease.

Well, I guess you could just buy the land and forgo leasing it?

Mine went up, but only twenty-five to fifty cents per acre. You must have lots of acres to go up $4000.

What timber company?

[Bayouboy]

$850 dues. That is dirt cheap.

East Texas lease

John Hancock went up also

Ours is supposed to go up this year also. We are with Crown Timber, out of Burkeville. The contracts are renewed every three years with them.

^^This.

That's what we each pay a year in feed alone.

Maybe but considering the roads are always terrible and the campsite is not assesible most of the year it’s not that good of a bargain.

If you are paying 850, that is cheap.

Mine went up .25 cents per acre. About $140 total for 563 acres.

I have a friend that has a lease in Kountze that’s owned by Crown and theirs went up also.

Ours went up $1.00 an acre. They went up more than that last year. They are about to price us out because the Sabine River had a large portion of ours flooded most of the season.
