A lot of great information above. I'm growing pines on 300 acres and agree even at that size it is hard to get someone to thin. My replanted trees got some bugs that took out about 15% of the trees at this point (forester said it was more expensive to spray for the bugs than it would be worth in terms of saving trees). I don't expect to make tons of money on the pine trees but I love owning, working and hunting on the land so at the end of the day it is worth it to me even if I don't make a ton of money. I would just not put all my retirement into land/trees. Stay diversified as others have said.
