About Hammes Brothers Sawmill Inc.
Hammes Brothers Sawmill Inc. is a sawmill in Ollie, Iowa. It's set up under the "Wood Processors" contact area in the Iowa State Extension directory, with Jeff Sieren as the contact. The mill processes all tree species and produces grade lumber, pallet lumber, and veneer. It does not do custom milling, and it has no kiln drying service or portable mill, so this is a stationary operation that works with logs brought to it rather than coming out to the woods. Keokuk County is the county served. This directory entry doesn't give a minimum acreage or tract size for timber sales. This fits a landowner near Ollie or Keokuk County who already has logs cut, or who wants a mill that handles grade lumber, pallet lumber, and veneer across all species, rather than someone looking for a forester to walk their woods or a logger to come harvest standing timber.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
