Do they "think a few years ahead" because they *want* to or because the laws say they *have? to? I contend the latter, because before the laws were in place, they would clearcut and then just walk away... |

Forced? What happens to a farmer is he dosent replant? Huh??? How did we get talking about farmers, with their relatively small (compared to forests) private plots of land? But to address your question "What happens to a farmer is he dosent replant?", the answer is: the gummint pays him to *not* plant. (I'm sure you have heard of the subsidy program)... :-) |

I contend the latter, because before the laws were in place, they would clearcut and then just walk away... I contend the former, because they will want to be in business ten years from now. Logging equipment and debarkers and kilns and other lumber- producing equipment doesn't come cheap, and they can either depreciate it over a long lifetime at low cost to the lumber consumer or try to charge a gazillion shekels per board foot to pay for it all. Check the sites of some of the paper makers. They brag about their reforestation efforts. Even if their labors are crassly commercial, they're putting back new trees to replace the trees they take, in spades. -- If John McCain gets the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, my vote for President will be a write-in for Jiang Zemin. |
