The business started as a small sawmill under the name New River Farms Sawmill, turning local timber into usable lumber, and has grown since into the operation it is today. They serve Fayette County.

Clonch Industries Inc. is a sawmill and timber buyer in Dixie, West Virginia. The family has run it for four generations, going back to 1925, and they still harvest from the Appalachian region they grew up in. They buy standing timber throughout West Virginia, and they also buy logs. Their own foresters can help a landowner put together a timber management plan, and the work is done under "sustainable forestry practices that are in line with local, state, and federal regulations." Species they handle include Red Oak, White Oak, Poplar, hard and soft maple, basswood, hickory, cherry, ash, and walnut. Besides timber and logs, they sell kiln-dried hardwood lumber, sawdust, chips, and bark, running a circular sawmill and 14 dry kilns with an annual kiln capacity of about sixteen million board feet and close to 20 million board feet of hardwood production a year. There's no stated minimum acreage for a timber sale. The smallest job on their books is a 5.25 acre tract near the Montgomery Exit on Rt. 60 in Fayette County, but that one is land for sale, not a timber harvest, so it doesn't tell you their floor for buying standing timber. This fits a landowner near Fayette County who wants to sell to an established Appalachian mill with its own foresters on staff, rather than a single buyer working alone.
