Central New York Forest Products LLC, also doing business as CNY Forest Products, is a logging contractor working out of New York, serving Madison County. They do logging and land clearing, including selective cutting and timber stand improvement, clear cutting, chipping and grinding, and forestry mulching. They say they have "over 15 years of experience in all aspects of forestry, logging and land clearing." Their crew runs a mechanized operation with skidder and feller buncher for clear cutting, and a flexible fleet of equipment to match the job to what a landowner wants, whether that's money, wildlife, or recreation. No species or acreage minimums are named, so there's nothing to go on there. This fits a landowner who already knows roughly what they want done to the land, whether it's a timber harvest, clearing a site, or grinding down brush and woody debris, and wants one outfit in Madison County that can handle logging and land clearing both.

D.C. Logging is run by Dave Cotter out of Cohocton, New York, in Livingston County. He logged professionally for over 20 years before the business shifted to part-time, and it serves Madison County. These days the work centers on firewood, sold year-round, with walnut-free sawdust also available when weather allows. Timber harvesting is still listed among the services, and Dave can be reached directly to talk through a job. He started the business in 2011 in Springwater, New York, before moving it to Cohocton. D.C. Logging is fully insured. It's a small operation. Dave and his son Dolan handle firewood orders evenings and weekends around their other work, and "care and pride go into every order." This fits a landowner whose main interest is firewood or who wants to start a conversation about a timber job with someone local to the area, rather than one looking for a large crew or a big harvesting operation.

How much is my timber worth in Madison 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 Madison 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.
