Rodney:
Well, good question.... Stumpage prices are like used car prices... depends.
They depend on access, species and quality mix, size.... a Gazillion things.
The best source for "real" stumpage prices are other consulting foresters
who sell timber.  Timbermart South, as suggested, is a good "average"
source.  Also try The "Hardwood Market Report"  Email  address is  hmr@hmr.com

They publish weekly reports of hardwood prices (milled, air dried,
boxcarloads).  This is not stumpage but, it is an excellent measure of the
pulse of the market.
