      <description><![CDATA[In this research, we studied the legal aspects and the various relevant clauses of a timber sale contract. We conclude that while a good contract is important, it is no substitute for being present at the work site. The landowner should walk the tract with the logger before commencement of the operations and visit the site often during harvesting. This way, problems can be prevented, and both parties will be much more satisfied. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
