woodlot as a business

I own a 20 acre woodlot and I have a management plan with the UDSA/NRCS. Can I run this woodlot as a small business?

What kind of business? Do you materially participate in the operations?

I plan to sell small amounts of timber for lumber but anticipate that it could be some time between harvests as is typical for managing a woods. I'll incur expenses clearing invasive species, doing timber management such as thinning, removing poorly formed trees, driving to and from home to the woodlot (32 miles one way). I am working with a forester and UDSA/NCRS on following a management plan.

Thank you for your response.
