Ipe harvesting - sustainability

<< < (2/2)

Parnell:
35' in 13 years, Eddie?  That's not too slow, I suppose, compared to the cypress around here and how slowly it grows.  Eddie, is the land being cleared at a very high rate for agriculture/ranching where you were at?  Did you see any work being done to re-plant or is it going to development in that area?

mullet:
 The land where I'm at has already been cleared a long time ago. It is ranches, sugar cane fields, soy beans and coffee.

Justin Snyder:
From what I hear, much more is being cut and burned to clear the land than cut and milled into lumber. Certainly more than is used for bows.  ;)
