Rental Charges and Use of a Machine in North Carolina

The North Carolina Division of Forestry operates 2 Lowther tree planters on a custom basis. A charge of $4.50 per acre (based on 1,000 trees) is charged the landowner for the use of the machine and machine operator. The landowner furnishes a tractor and driver and pays for the seedlings. This past year we have endeavored to have the landowner furnish a machine operator also, charging $3.00 per acre for the use of the machine. The Forestry Division furnishes technical supervision free of charge and trains the machine operator for the landowner. To date, a good many landowners have availed themselves of this service and say that if this service had not been available they could not have planted their land. Wages of labor in the better agricultural and industrial sections of North Carolina are too high for hand planting).
