If you can get a long term lease then that is great. Paper companies rarely lease long term and I don't know of anybody that has a long term lease in my area.
Bryant I know there is a lot of paper company land in the Perry area, but your lease can be gone in a blink of the eye. International Paper went from the largest private landowner in the US (a few million acres)to almost nothing within a year. St. Regis just put 10,000 acres up for sale west of Tallahassee for $2,495 an acre and Rayonier has about 17,000 acres for sale in south Bama and northwest Florida.
All they want is their timber. The land doesn't mean much to them, along with your lease money[&:]. They are inbusiness to make money, unfortunately....
All I have ever heard of was yearly hunting leases around here.
