I would like information regarding planting of hardwoods around existing
agricultural lands.  There are many items that need to be looked at but
my emphasis is on if it is economically worthwhile.
I need expected growth charts up to about 100 years or so...the longer
the
better for Black Walnut, Red Oak, and White Oak.  It has been impossible

to locate any information regarding these trees or the
trees growth here in North Idaho.  Value at maturity, expected rotation
times  of the trees and net present value at the year of rotation of
crop, anything that would justify financially the planting of additional

trees.  This could be any cost benefit analysis...etc. Do you have a
cost
analysis regarding yearly or front-end cost for the prospective planter
of
Black Walnut, Red or White Oaks?
I am interested in contrasting this information with the shorter
rotation
of Hybrid Poplars.  I understand the rotation is about 10-20 years but
do
not know.  If you have any information on these trees and how to justify

their planting on a value added economic scheme I sure would appreciate
your sending it on by e-mail or regular mail.
