Timber prices for Ward County
No county publishes its own timber prices. These are North Dakota's published stumpage prices, what landowners are paid for standing timber, and the best public guide to what timber in Ward County is bringing. Your own timber can sell above or below them. North Dakota has about 815,000 forest acres and no price report at all. These are Minnesota's auction prices for the same aspen, oak and birch — treat them as an upper bound, because North Dakota has far fewer mills bidding.

How much is my timber worth in Ward 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 Ward 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.
