I'd be interested in hearing how you think timber should be treated.  I
plant it, weed it, fertilize it and harvest it.  It's taxed differently
from other crops because it's a long-cycle crop, and often the person
that plants is not the person who harvests.  

I support reserving some timber on public lands as parks and monuments, but
on private lands timber is a cash crop just like a field of wheat.
