I’m no socialist but timber products should be a state run industry.

Why not everything grown here on private land then? Apples, wheat, soybeans? Where would it end?

Ironically, as a leftist, I agree with you on this one. Dude above us actually is a socialist. I for one am more of a social democrat. Monopolies aren't good, state-run (even democratically state-run) or not.

Well when it comes to crops that are stupidly easy to grow and require a ton of resources, it makes sense to give the largess generated by their cultivation back to the public. So maybe things like alfalfa, Timothy hay, and Doug for should be cultivated by the state.
