Just wondering if anyone else cuts balsam boughs for extra cash? I just hauled a load in today with 2400lbs on it. i got just under 4 tons this year at .21 cents a pound. Not bad money from trees around the farm. Anyone else cut and what price do you get? I am in NE Wisconsin
 
There are people still cutting balsalm fir near me in Hamilton County, NY (Adirondack Park). This time of year, several buyers advertise, trying to buy it. Year's back the sap was used for gum (like spruce), perfume, and medicine. Now, I think it's more of a tourist thing making basalm scented pillows and Christmas gifts. I have no idea what the stuff brings. I've got 20 acres of all balsam fir and white pine - but haven't cut any. The deer however, love it.
