Kentucky Timber Buyers, based in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, buys standing hardwood timber for its own sawmill. They are not brokers or middlemen, which they say lets them pay top dollar for your trees. They handle timber evaluations, price proposals, select cutting, and clear cutting on request. The species they buy is hardwood timber, specifically marketable sized trees. Their process is straightforward: half the agreed value is paid when you sign on to sell, and the other half before the first tree comes down, so landowners aren't left waiting on payment after the trees are already gone. Their loggers are Amish, and the business describes them as caring about natural habitat and wildlife. The crews are insured and Licensed Master Loggers in the State of Kentucky. They've been buying timber for over 20 years. Rather than a stated acreage minimum, their cutoff is set in trees and size: they look to buy "40 trees or more" that measure at least 18 inches across at the base, and they note plainly that they can't help with small quantities on residential lots. So this isn't the outfit for a handful of trees in a yard, but for a real stand of mature hardwood. They serve Fleming County along with a run of other Kentucky counties: Bath, Bourbon, Bracken, Campbell, Clark, Fayette, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Mason, Montgomery, Nicholas, Pendleton, Robertson, and Scott. This fits a landowner with a sizeable stand of mature hardwood who wants a direct buyer, not a broker, and who values getting paid before the cutting starts rather than after.

How much is my timber worth in Fleming County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Fleming County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
