Maverick Wood Products runs a sawmill in Browerville, Minnesota. They cut pallet lumber, crates, and skids in both softwood and hardwood, and they also buy standing timber and saw bolts straight from landowners. If you have woods to sell, they work in pine, spruce, balsam fir, tamarack, aspen, basswood, birch, maple, oak, and elm, saying they "can utilize most trees species." They ask for adequate access and a landing location, modern logging equipment, and slash disposal on site. They say the "harvest plan will be tailored to YOUR goals and objectives." For a timber sale, they want a minimum of 15 acres of woods. They serve Todd County. If you'd rather sell logs or saw bolts than stand timber, they're also buying those directly at the mill, with specs on length and diameter by species, and they take deliveries at the mill with road access for 10-ton trucks. This one suits a landowner in Todd County with at least 15 acres who wants a sawmill buying both standing timber and delivered logs, not just one or the other.

How much is my timber worth in Todd 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 Todd 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.
