No worries. I'm still thinking about it.
The English language is a difficulty as the various dialects drift
apart. Tending away from crop towards produce .. as that term
encompasses more - eg fish, oysters.

Oops. I see it was Warin that introduced crop=timber.
A good choice of terms in any case.

@warin,
This is another laughable instance of how terminology we consider
normal is so different across the ocean. To Americans timber
refers to the standing trees in a forest. Timber is felled and cut
into lumber. We might describe an area as being "heavily timbered"
or having "standing timber". One would never substitute the word
lumber for timber in either of those phrases. A place that was
"heavily lumbered" would imply that the trees had been felled,
removed, and cut up into boards which we call lumber.
In this particular case these differences can be handily
side-stepped because John Willis offers the use of crop=timber,
which works to clarify the terminology without offending anyone
while still being entirely correct.
