They always had back in Ga but I left there in '79 for Mo., was there in Mo. till 3 years ago, and board ft. there also. Here they scale it and pay by the ton. They figure it slows down the mis read logs by the guy with the stick at the mill, and the owner gets less screwed!!! There is a conversion table that figures a pine log that is say, 3 1/2 logs by 20 inches to weigh out X number of ton. Logs sold at the mill are all weighed per load and paid by ton.
