Q. What can I expect pine straw yields to be?
A. If you begin raking when a pine stand is 6 years old, the yields will be relatively low at 50 to 75 bales per acre. At age 10, pine straw yield will be between 125 to 200 bales per acre. The maximum yield is at age 15 at 200 to 300 bales per acre. There is a slight decrease to approximately 200 bales per acre through age 35.
