American Walnut Co

About American Walnut Co

American Walnut Co buys standing timber and logs out of St. Joseph, Missouri, and runs a sawmill there too. They buy within about a 200 mile radius of St. Joseph for standing timber, and up to 300 miles for log purchases. They cut "standing timber in a variety of sizes and species" and are insured. Their main interest is American black walnut, along with other selected hardwoods. For log sales, they want 40 logs or more, or 20 trees or more, if you're outside that smaller radius. If you have less than that, you'd need to bring logs to their yard on South 2nd Street yourself. If you're interested in a sale, you call them to arrange a bid, and timber and logs get measured out by board foot using Doyle's scale. If you have fewer logs or trees than their 40-log or 20-tree mark, this probably isn't the place to start, since that's the line they draw for buying in the field rather than at their yard. They say they practice "sustainable harvesting of hardwood trees" and describe their approach as "conservative timberland management resulting in a self-perpetuating supply of American black walnut and other selected hardwoods." The company has been producing and distributing its products since 1924. This fits a landowner in Buchanan County, Missouri, or within easy reach of St. Joseph, who has a real stand of walnut or other hardwood timber, enough volume to make it worth a buyer coming out, and wants a straightforward call-and-bid process rather than a drawn-out consultation.
