Jerome Miller Lumber Co

About Jerome Miller Lumber Co

Jerome Miller Lumber Co is a logging outfit and sawmill based in Baldwin, Michigan. They've been working the woods since 1960, mostly in Lake County and the areas around it, including Mason, Oceana, Manistee, and Newaygo counties. They log hardwood, pine, and aspen, and they work your land themselves rather than just brokering it off. Their main method is select cut harvest, taking fully mature and diseased trees and leaving the rest standing so the woods can keep regenerating. Once logs come down, they go straight to the company's own sawmill in Baldwin to be graded and scaled. They use the pulpwood down to 4 inches and work the tops down as much as they can, leaving what's left to feed the soil. In their own words, they aim "to ensure we leave it a healthier place than when we arrive." They run single bunk forwarders, which they say are agile enough to move through a woods "without cutting a highway into the middle of the forest," so the equipment doesn't tear up the land getting the wood out. This fits a landowner in or near Lake County who wants a logger who also owns the sawmill the logs go to, and who cares more about what the woods looks like after the cut than about taking everything at once.
