Lambert Forest Products is a timber buyer out of Warrens, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber and also handle forestry consulting and logging work themselves, so one outfit can take you from "what's this worth" through to the cut. They focus on standing pine timber, and say plainly "we pay top dollar for standing pine timber." Beyond buying, their services cover forest management plans, timber sale set-up, bidding and administration, forest inventory and mapping, appraisals for land, timber, damage or trespass, timber stand improvement and marking, road location and design, logging engineering, and recreation planning. When you call, a forester meets with you to go over what you want, and if you've never done a timber sale before, they walk you through each step. They set the sale up to match your goals, check the property while the work is underway for contract compliance or damage, and follow up with you once it's done, including a chance to walk the harvest area yourself. They're based in North Central Monroe County and have worked there since 1994, started by Troy Lambert. They say they buy standing timber and handle timber management throughout Wisconsin. The company holds Master Logger Certification from the state of Wisconsin. Part of their process is on-site grinding and removal of logging slash and residues, so the woodlot isn't left full of tree-tops and limbs after a harvest. This fits a Monroe County landowner with pine on the ground who wants the buyer, the forester, and the logging crew to be the same people, rather than coordinating three separate outfits.

Kunz Logging is a family-owned timber buying and logging business based in Stitzer, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber directly from farmers and property owners, focusing on walnut and other hardwoods, and handle tree marking, cutting, and skidding themselves. A sale starts with a free assessment. They walk your property, look at the volume and quality of your standing timber, and give you a clear, no-obligation offer. If you accept, their insured team schedules and manages the whole harvest. They note they do not log pine, and they are not set up for single yard trees or residential tree removal. They require a minimum of 15 walnut trees or 30 or more other hardwoods to take on a job. One landowner described a smaller case outside their usual work: Kunz Logging "cut down a 25 foot walnut between two buildings and paid me," which shows they'll sometimes take on a single tree outside a standing sale. They serve clients within a two hour radius of Stitzer, Wisconsin, and specifically do not work in Iowa or Illinois. They say they do not service Grant County directly in these facts, but Grant is listed among counties served. They've operated since 2015 and describe themselves as "fully insured" and family-owned and operated. This fits a landowner with a walnut stand or a solid hardwood lot in southwest Wisconsin who wants one outfit to buy the timber and do the cutting, rather than juggling a separate buyer and logging crew.

R. H. Peplinski Logging LLC is a logging contractor in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a timber buyer. A listing here is not an endorsement.
RT Timber LLC is a timber buyer in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a logging contractor. A timber buyer purchases standing timber and arranges the harvest. A listing here is not an endorsement.
GM Land Management LLC is a timber buyer, logger, and forestry consultant based in Merrill, Wisconsin. They work in Lincoln County and describe their reach as broader: "We manage timber harvests in Wisconsin and upper peninsula of Michigan." They start with a free evaluation of standing timber, then mark the trees to be cut so the landowner can see the plan before any crew arrives. They buy timber in lump sum, which means an agreed price up front rather than a per-load payment later. They handle both selective harvest, where damaged, diseased, mature, and overstocked trees are taken to open the stand for younger growth, and clear cut, used where a forest is mostly mature and out of balance, including cutting for aspen regeneration or to clear and seed land for wildlife food plots. After the harvest they repair roads and seed landings to cut down on erosion. Their stated goal is "Sustainable Timber Management," aimed at letting a landowner harvest the same ground again every 10 to 15 years. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they show is an 80 acre select cut in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, so that gives a sense of the scale they're used to working at. This fits a landowner with a sizeable wooded tract in Wisconsin or Michigan's Upper Peninsula who wants one outfit to evaluate the timber, buy it outright, run the harvest, and clean up after, rather than juggling separate buyers, loggers, and foresters.

Central Wisconsin Lumber Inc is a timber buyer in Marathon City, Wisconsin. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A timber buyer purchases standing timber and arranges the harvest. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Foxwalk Sawmill, based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, runs its own sawmill and also logs and buys standing timber for landowners. Zack took over the operation in 2008 and has kept improving the equipment and refining the work since. They serve Dunn county and describe their reach as western Wisconsin and west-central Wisconsin. The woods there run to white pine, hardwoods, northern hardwood, pine, and mixed central hardwood species, and that is what they cut and buy. Their own words sum up the offer plainly: they help landowners "manage, evaluate and harvest or sell their valuable timber," and they can arrange logging, forestry planning, and clearing work on top of the mill itself. Most of their logs come from their own winter cutting, which they say gives "better quality timber" for the lumber and timbers they produce. They will also buy individual yard trees, but only if the tree is of real quality, size, and a preferred species, since moving heavy equipment for one or two low-value trees doesn't pencil out. They don't do lot clearing or general tree service themselves, though they work with other logging and tree service companies in the area they can point you toward. This fits a Dunn county landowner with pine or hardwood timber who wants one outfit that can look at the trees, log them, and mill them, rather than juggling a separate buyer, logger, and sawyer.

Legacy Forest Management is a forestry consulting and timber buying business based in Sparta, Wisconsin. They help landowners "sustainably manage their land by providing sound forest management services," handling everything from forest inventory and timber cruising to marking trees, soliciting bids from local sawmills and loggers, and writing up the sale contract. They also supervise the harvest once it starts, checking in on-site and by phone to make sure the work matches what was agreed. Species they work with include red, white, and black oak, aspen, red maple, white pine, and mixed hardwoods. Work on the books runs from MFL plans and timber appraisals to habitat management, recreational planning, GIS mapping, and expert testimony. Owner Eric Olson came up through sawmill procurement forestry and independent logging before starting the company in 2019. He's a member of the Society of American Foresters, part of the Wisconsin DNR's cooperating forester program, a MFL Certified Plan Writer, and a Certified Tree Farm Inspector for the American Tree Farm System. There is no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest sale they've listed is a 10 acre job in Arcadia, Trempealeau County, so smaller tracts seem to be in reach. They serve Sparta and the surrounding area, with sales named in Monroe, Buffalo, La Crosse, and Trempealeau counties. This one suits a landowner who wants someone to run the whole sale start to finish, from marking trees to making sure the logger does what the contract says.

Leer Wood Products is a family-owned logging, timber-buying, and sawmill business in Westby, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber and handle the harvest themselves, working under Wisconsin MFL guidelines and Best Forestry Management Practice to "achieve the desired outcome for landowners." They take on timber harvesting, buying standing timber, and post-harvest work, bulldozing, grass seeding, and tree planting, so you're not left with a torn-up lot when the trucks leave. The species they work with include Ash, Aspen, Basswood, Cherry, Eastern White Pine, Hard Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, and White Oak. A sale with them runs through a set process: a walk-through of your woods, a timber value estimate, a boundary survey, marking the trees and routes, a written contract, permits and MFL paperwork, the harvest itself, and then the cleanup and regeneration work after. They buy and harvest standing timber throughout Wisconsin and are listed as serving Vernon County. They hold FISTA and SFI certifications and describe themselves as a certified timber buyer and certified timber harvester, and say they are fully insured. Leer Wood Products has been logging Wisconsin land for nearly 50 years as a second-generation, family-owned company. This fits a Wisconsin landowner who wants one outfit to buy the timber, run the harvest, and leave the ground in shape afterward, rather than juggling separate contractors for each step.

Cleereman Forest Products is a logging company based in Laona, Wisconsin. They buy standing timber and timberland, write MFL plans, and run their own trucking so they don't need to bring in another company for hauling. The work covers timber harvesting, forest management plans, MFL plan writing, and trucking services. They are family owned, and the Cleereman family has been logging in Northern Wisconsin since 1913, starting with a sawmill and 1600 acres bought from the Chicago North Western. They describe their approach as caring for "every aspect of your project from start to finish," from the first conversation about your land through the harvest plan and the MFL paperwork. No tract size is given as a minimum, so there's nothing to go on for how small a job they'll take. They don't name species or list specific towns and counties they cover beyond Northern Wisconsin in general, though Forest County is named as served. This fits a landowner in Northern Wisconsin who wants one outfit to handle the timber sale, the paperwork, and the trucking together, especially someone drawn to a business with a long family history in the area. From cfplogging.com, read 8 October 2026.
Wisconsin Hardwoods LLC is a sawmill and log buyer in Mason, Wisconsin. They cut lumber and also buy logs straight from landowners, either picked up on the landing or hauled to their own yard. They buy Red Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Black Ash, White Ash, White Birch, Yellow Birch, Basswood, and Yellow Aspen. Logs get scaled using the Scribner Decimal C rule. They want standard lengths of 8, 10, or 12 feet with at least 8 inches of trim, and the small end inside the bark needs to be at least 10 inches across. Logs have to be solid, sound, straight, fresh cut, and free of any metal. Their grader holds NHLA certification, so the grading follows a recognized standard rather than just a guess at the landing. They call themselves a "precision mill known for top quality wood" and say they offer "prompt payment and competitive pricing" on the logs they buy. On the milling side, they cut lumber to order in 4/4, 5/4, or 6/4 grades, along with aspen, basswood, and hardwood cants and sorted-width pallet or industrial lumber cut to spec. They deliver truckloads of finished lumber throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the UP of Michigan, though their log buying is centered around Ashland County. This fits a landowner in or near Ashland County who has oak, maple, ash, birch, basswood, or aspen logs ready to sell, wants a buyer that scales by a known rule and grades to a certified standard, and would rather deal with a mill that explains its log specs up front than guess what's acceptable. From wisconsinhardwoods.com, read 8 October 2026.
North Country Lumber is a sawmill in Mellen, Wisconsin. Alongside milling, they buy timber and offer forestry consulting, working with landowners and loggers to manage forests and harvest timber. They serve Ashland County. The species they work with include red oak, maple, basswood, hard maple, soft maple, white oak, white ash, black ash, aspen, white birch, yellow birch and cherry. Their wood is drawn from the "slow growth glacial soils" of Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and they ship logs for export as well as filling domestic orders. On the sales side they say their focus is on "meeting strict timelines" when filling customer orders to specification. This is a business built around the mill itself, so the forestry and timber-buying side runs through the same operation as the procurement and sales team, rather than being a separate consulting arm. If you have standing hardwood timber on your land in Ashland County or nearby in Northern Wisconsin, this is the kind of outfit that would be buying the logs as well as cutting and selling the lumber. That suits a landowner who wants one business handling the timber from standing tree through to finished product, rather than separate people for advice, logging, and the mill.

Hershey Biomass Products is a logging contractor in Hayward, Wisconsin. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a timber buyer and a consulting forester. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Hawkeye Forest Products runs a hardwood sawmill in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, and also buys timber. They are a member of The Baillie Group. Their mill saws Walnut, Hickory, and Cherry, and they work with Northern and Appalachian hardwoods more broadly. They describe the operation as a "state of the art hardwood lumber sawmill" and say the lumber they ship goes to customers across North America and abroad. On the production side, they point to "quality control" as the thread that runs through the work, from the logs coming in to the lumber going out. For landowners, the part that matters most is the timber-buying side listed alongside the mill. The county they serve is Trempealeau, where the mill itself sits, so a tract anywhere nearby is the kind of job they'd be set up to look at. This fits a landowner near Trempealeau with Walnut, Hickory, or Cherry on the property, especially someone who wants their logs to go straight into a hardwood lumber operation rather than through a separate logger and a separate mill.

Bee Forest LLC is a logging contractor in Nelson, Wisconsin. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a timber buyer, a mill and a consulting forester. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Koxlien Brothers Wood Products is a sawmill in Strum, Wisconsin. They buy standing hardwood timber and logs, and they're a "3rd generation family owned sawmill" that's been at it since 1983. Their main trade is timber buying, but they also log, run the mill, and do forestry consulting. They work with hardwood timber and oak timber, and they say they "specialize in hunting properties" and oak timber regeneration, along with general forest management. Their stated focus is "improving the overall health of the woods," which shows in the kind of work they take on: timber value estimates, MFL compliance, trail construction and repair, job site clean up, property line surveying, harvest planning, timber value assessment and marking, trucking, and dozing work for trails or food plots. They also note "experienced logging crews" for the harvest itself. Buffalo County is where they're found in the register, and they list Trempealeau County as an area they serve, with Wisconsin and Strum named more broadly on their own pages. This looks like a fit for a landowner who wants more than a one-time timber sale. If you're thinking about hunting land, oak regeneration, or longer-term forest management alongside the harvest, this is a business built around that kind of work rather than just buying logs and moving on. From koxlienbrothers.com, read 8 October 2026.
Timber Ridge Harvesting LLC is a logging contractor and buyer of standing timber working out of Marathon City, Wisconsin. They've been "providing quality logging services for over 10 years," taking on both clear-cutting and selective logging, so whether you want a tract cleared or just certain trees pulled, that's work they handle. They buy standing timber outright, and they work with landowners going through the Wisconsin Managed Forest Law program as well as those logging for business or personal reasons. Their service area is Marathon, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. They describe their approach as "Sustainable Timber Harvesting practices," aimed at keeping the forest healthy while still getting the landowner a return. No tree species are named on their pages, so if you have particular species you're hoping to sell, that's worth asking about directly. The same goes for tract size. There's nothing posted about a minimum, so a small parcel owner would need to call and ask rather than guess from what's online. This fits a landowner in or near Marathon County who wants one outfit that can both log the property and buy the standing timber, rather than hiring a logger and a buyer separately, and who likes that the business frames its work around sustainable practices and MFL compliance rather than just a one-time cut.

NWH buys logs and standing timber in Clark County, Wisconsin, including around Dorchester. They're a timber buyer and also work with logging partners to get the wood cut and hauled. They've been in business since 1967. The species they buy here include ash, basswood, cherry, hard maple, hickory, poplar, red oak, soft maple, walnut, white oak, and yellow birch. A sale with NWH runs in four steps: they consult with you and evaluate your timber, give you a detailed estimate, put together an agreement with payment terms once you're ready, and then harvest. They say they'll handle the harvest "with respect for your land" and in line with your state's Best Management Practices for timber harvesting. You'll need at least 10 acres to harvest. NWH states this plainly: "We work closely with landowners who have a minimum of 10 acres to harvest to evaluate your timber and understand your land's unique needs." So smaller parcels likely won't get a look. This fits a landowner in Clark County with a real stand of mixed hardwoods, at least 10 acres, who wants a buyer that also lines up the logging crew rather than just making an offer and walking away. From nwh.com, read 4 October 2026.

Walnut Timber Buyers is a logging contractor and timber buyer based at 8727 Arenzville Rd. in Beardstown, Illinois. They buy standing timber and handle cut logs for farms and hunting land, working mostly with landowners, loggers, and importers. They take on projects where a property has 20 or more mature trees; that's the line they use instead of an acreage figure. The species they buy are walnut, white oak, red oak, hickory, ash, maple and black oak. Their process starts with marking property lines and picking out the trees worth the most, then felling, grading roads to gather the wood, cleaning up after themselves, and finally lining up a buyer and paying you before the logs leave your land. As they put it, "We begin by determining the trees on your land that are worth the most." They also offer a "free appraisal" before anything is cut. They work within about 300 miles of Beardstown, which reaches a large part of Illinois along with Central and Eastern Missouri. They describe themselves as licensed timber buyers and fully insured, and say they've been doing this work for 30 years. This fits a landowner in Illinois or Missouri sitting on a stand of marketable hardwoods, with at least 20 mature trees, who wants one outfit to handle the appraisal, the cutting, and the sale together rather than juggling separate companies. From walnuttimberbuyer.com, read 8 October 2026.
Algoma Lumber Co is a sawmill in Algoma, Wisconsin, that also buys timber. It's been part of the Algoma business community since 1950. The mill specializes in Northern Hardwood, and it's a "mid-size sawmill" that "produces approximately six million board feet of sawn lumber annually." For a landowner, the main point of contact is Log Procurement, which handles buying logs from landowners. The mill is set up at 1400 Perry St. in Algoma, and it serves Kewaunee County. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no details are given on how the buying process runs step by step, so a call to their Log Procurement line would be the way to find out what they're looking for on your land. This fits a landowner in or near Kewaunee County with Northern Hardwood timber who wants a straightforward, long-running local mill rather than a forestry consultant walking the whole sale through. From algomalumber.com, read 8 October 2026.
Florence Hardwoods, LLC is a sawmill in Florence, Wisconsin, and it also buys timber. The owners are loggers themselves, so the mill yard stays stocked, and every cant order is cut to the customer's own specs on species, grade, width, and length. The mill works in Hard Maple, white ash, and aspen, and it runs a "100% Zero Waste Facility," turning bark into heat for the kiln, overrun into chips for paper mills, and sawdust into bedding and other products. It draws wood from a 150 mile procurement radius around Florence, covering northeastern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, including US Forest Service land, state forestland in Michigan and Wisconsin, county and municipal holdings, and private industrial and non-industrial forest owners. A number of its suppliers are Michigan Master Logger Certified or Wisconsin Master Logger Certified, and a large share of the raw material comes from certified forestlands. Florence Hardwoods was restarted in 2011, when two large Upper Peninsula logging companies took over a vacant sawmill. It calls its approach "First-name Basis Procurement," saying it knows much of the region's landowners, foresters, and the loggers and truckers who haul wood to its yard. This one fits a landowner near the Wisconsin-Michigan border whose stand runs to Hard Maple, white ash, or aspen, and who wants a mill with its own logging roots rather than a broker standing between them and the yard. From florencehardwoods.com, read 8 October 2026.
Kretz Lumber Co Inc is a sawmill and timber business in Antigo, Wisconsin. Alongside milling lumber, they buy timber, do their own logging, and offer forestry consulting for landowners who need help managing their woods. They work in hardwoods: hard maple, soft maple, red oak, basswood, white ash, aspen, birch, cherry, walnut, hickory, and several others, including figured species like birdseye, tiger, and curly maple. Their forestry services cover "Forest Management" and "Logging in WI & MI," and they say they "tailor our forestry management plans to your land size, expectations, and goals." Work has been done for landowners across Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and they're shown serving Langlade County specifically. Besides standing timber and logging, they also handle custom ripping and custom sanding for landowners who want lumber cut to spec. They call themselves "Hardwood Specialists" and point to "100+ Years of forest stewardship experience," with the company itself manufacturing lumber since 1929. You can reach them at 800-352-1438. This fits a landowner in Langlade County or nearby who wants one outfit to handle the timber sale, the logging, and the forestry advice together, rather than hiring three separate people.

It's a family run business that says it has been serving Central and Northern Wisconsin for over 20 years, working in both logging and timber buying. The work covers timber harvesting, custom harvest plans, full timber sale management, mechanical logging, roads and trails, food plot clearing, and log and timber hauling. They say their loggers "work with clients to achieve their long term timber management goals & ensure top dollar for their standing timber harvests & logs." The company states it is fully licensed and insured, with staff trained through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. They say they take on parcels starting at 20 acres, up through tracts over 500 acres. Their service area runs through Antigo, Lily, Rhinelander, Crandon, and Merrill, plus Langlade, Forest, Lincoln, and Marathon counties, and the rest of Central and Northern Wisconsin. Their mechanical logging approach aims for "the least amount of ground disturbance possible" on the ground they work. This fits a landowner with a mid to large wooded parcel in Central or Northern Wisconsin who wants one outfit to handle the whole job, from planning the harvest through to hauling the logs. From stronglogging.com, read 8 October 2026.
Tigerton Lumber Company is a sawmill in Tigerton, Wisconsin that also buys timber and offers forestry consulting. They've been family owned and operated since 1887, working out of northern Wisconsin's hardwood country.

They work in Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Red Oak, White Oak, White Ash, Cherry, White Birch, Yellow Birch, Basswood, Hickory, and Elm. Their foresters mark trees by species, quality and spacing, and they say "no clear-cutting," relying on selective cutting instead. Logging and trucking crews are "Fully insured logging and trucking contractors." They serve Shawano County and say their staff knows the forest tax law programs across the Great Lakes Region, including Wisconsin's MFL and FCL programs and Michigan's QFP and CFA programs. They do not do timber appraisals for tax purposes. This fits a landowner in Shawano County who wants one outfit to buy the timber, mark it, and run the harvest, from a mill that has stayed in the same family for well over a century. From tigertonlumber.com, read 8 October 2026.
MW Forestry & Real Estate is a forestry consulting and timber buying business out of Wausau, Wisconsin, working the Rhinelander and Wausau area in Central Wisconsin, with work found in Marathon County. They offer timber appraisals and timber sale services, plus forest management, forest inventory, boundary line establishment and maintenance, property mapping, harvest scheduling, wildlife habitat services, and MFL plans. For a sale, they run "an intense timber cruise to identify tree species and volumes by species with an up to date market analysis," then prepare, sell, and contract the harvest laid out in your forest management plan. They say their appraisals aim "to receive the highest possible price for the timber being offered for sale." They've worked with forested properties in Wisconsin for over 15 years. Their real estate focus runs on parcels from 10 acres up to 100,000+ acres, so 10 acres looks to be the floor for that side of the business. This fits a landowner in the Marathon County area who wants one outfit to handle the whole arc of a timber sale, from cruising the stand to lining up the harvest, and who might also want wildlife habitat work or an MFL plan done alongside it. From mwforestry.com, read 8 October 2026.
Wild Rivers Forestry Inc is a logging and forestry consulting business based in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. They buy timber, log it, and also write Managed Forest Law plans, so they can handle a sale from the first conversation through the cleanup after. Their crews cut pulpwood, bolts, and sawlogs, and the foresters on staff include two certified MFL plan writers. The work goes beyond the harvest itself: they also do firewood sales and delivery, stump grinding, mulching and timber stand improvement, food plot and wildlife opening work, road planning and construction, building site prep and lot clearing, and storm damage cleanup. They describe their logging crews as "SFI Trained, fully-insured professional logging crews," and they offer "Free forest management consultations form professional foresters" before any sale is set up. They say they handle "start-to-finish woodland management services," meaning the same company sets up the sale, administers it, and sees it through. They serve Marinette County in Wisconsin, and their own service area description names Wisconsin and the Michigan UP more broadly. They say they have served the industry for decades. This fits a landowner in Marinette County or nearby who wants one outfit to walk them through the whole process, from a free first look at the woods to the harvest plan, the sale itself, and follow-up work like TSI or a food plot afterward, rather than hiring separate people for consulting, logging, and cleanup. From wildriversforestry.com, read 8 October 2026.
Granite Valley Forest Products is a sawmill based in New London, Wisconsin, that also does forestry consulting and buys timber. They work with landowners from first contact through to harvest, handling forest management plans, timber harvesting, and timber sales. Their species is northern hardwoods. The process starts with a call to set up a property visit, where one of their forest managers walks your land, asks about your goals, and talks through which species might be harvested. They offer this first visit free. From there they help build a forest management plan and can carry it through to the actual harvest and sale of timber. They describe their approach as managing your forest "with care and respect, as if it was our own." They serve wooded land in Wisconsin, Southeastern Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Upper Michigan, with work in the directory tied to Outagamie County. Granite Valley also runs its own hardwood facilities, including AAA Hardwoods and Rockbridge Sawmill, and notes an FSC trademark license, which points to some chain-of-custody certification tied to their wood. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to walk the property, plan the harvest, and buy the timber, rather than hiring a separate consulting forester and a separate mill.

Great Lakes Veneer Inc buys hardwood logs out of Marion, Wisconsin. It's a mill and veneer manufacturer, not a logging crew, so it's set up to buy logs that are already cut and ready to move, rather than to come out and harvest your timber for you. They buy a long list of species: hard maple, red oak, hickory, white oak, red maple, white ash, birch, black walnut, black cherry, aspen, basswood, and more, including red pine. Their log buyers work the field directly with loggers, "meeting face-to-face with loggers in the field" to pick the grades they want. Pete Schwecke covers Wisconsin as their buyer for this state, and the company lists Waupaca County among the counties it serves, with other buyers covering parts of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Illinois. They say their log buying experts have "built a network of log suppliers ready to deliver," and that they offer "year-round availability" for log purchases. The company traces back to 1894, run today by the fourth generation of the same family, and it's also found in Shawano County's own business listings as a plywood supplier. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who is working with a logger and wants a mill buyer in the mix for hardwood species like maple, oak, or walnut, rather than someone looking for a company to walk their woods and plan the harvest itself.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers are there in Wisconsin?
41 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Wisconsin forestry register, covering 29 counties between them.
How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
