Hmm,we would plant 125,000--150,000 on that size of land.The effect is to
increase quality thrugh the crowding effect.Our government (Sweden)doesn`t
subsidize this exercise by a dime,but will fine one rateher heavily if the
re-growth 5 years down
the road is less than the 100,000.

We´d log minimum 60 years after planting and would expect to net 600-800
KUSD
not counting the income from 2-4 thinnings in the interim.Just for
comparison.
