It's called harvesting the wood. They re-plant and manage the timber as most farmers do. There is more money in well managed forest than row crops. In mid-west they are hand cut, hauled out by trained teams of horses to do the least damage. Some scrub timber is cleared where the timber is of NO use, so that either good species can be grown or row crops. It's getting harder to do with government beuracrats as they are untrained, paper pushers...LIKE, LIKE, LIKE the part about making lemonade from lemons. If we would actually put an effort into that there would be no need to clear-cut thousands of acres of forest to make way for huge industrial-ag fields.
