Hotcopper rates as the 29th most looked at forum in the world.So people with a vision and a commodity that is needed and wanted desperatly in the global economics of the world,and you do not want to rely on or beholden on a government pension like 94%of Australians will in some form or another in the next 10 to 15 years,then take a look at something that has a potential.
The japs know it,Global Forestry Enterprise know it (that is American super scheme for teachers in the States) or as we better know them here as Hancocks,Sodra knows it,Tas mill,Gunns need it to give themselves breathing space,John Young knows it,my best mate and the Resposible Entity the one and only The great Mr.Stephen Cole or the Resident Evil of Great southern Plantations and has a saying or motto "Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down"
Later post on what the value of it are in the paddock,but as unit holders whether as an individual or a group of investors in a unit,it can be done
At the risk of being repetitive,us investors and that is in the 98 to 06 schemes of tree plantations of a total number of 29000 + tree investors (re-page 12 of notice) that the land is on offer,
Put simply,we run it as a co-op and make sure we deal direct with the subby who is hands on and is as much in the subcontractors interest as much as us.
It would work,and it would initially take a sum of coin to pool,but boy o boy look 5 years down the road.Even the investor who is overdue for harvesting and has not got their money as a rule of thumb a hectare is growing at the book rate of 20 to 25 m3 per annum and then the plantation is entering new territory of value added structural and veneer timber,even if you did not get the total proper value on the trees the thinnings and CO2 credits make up the shortfall and it gives the investor an income to write off the capital expense.
So many variables between one investor as an example if I did not want my trees cut,then it is left for future value adding.where on the otherside an investor needed to harvest then from the pool he or she is paid,and the trees may still stand for future value adding or are harvested at a later date.
The simple variable on formulating an on going co-op private property tree plantation,and working on the carbon credits and thinnings can be very lucrative for all and sundry.
And best of all we are not begging,or beholden to anyone,and with what is going on globally those greedy morons under their new guise can criticise it,and that is good because that is fear that we can succeed,plus if they do't want to deal with us on the open market at the process end,I am very sure others would,even if the current tree barons tried to undercut us or burn us out.
