Stumps removal after logged for veneer

Hi! I have a question about the land after black walnuts trees have been harvested for veneer. approximately 500 trees. Does the harvesting company do anything with regard to the stumps, or can that be part of the harvesting contract? Thank you.

Usually, the stumps are left in the ground and not part of the timber buyer's responsibility. If you want the timber buyer to grind the stumps or do anything else with them you can work with them to include it in the contract but, if they are willing to do it at all, they will reduce the price they pay you to compensate for het extra staffing time spent on the stumps.
