MU Forestry Extension has just published a new guide for forest landowners considering selling their timber. It’s G5051, “Selling Timber: What the Landowner Needs to Know” and is available online at http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G5051. While not intended to be a Do-It-Yourself guide, it is designed to explain all the relevant steps you need to consider before the first tree is cut. More importantly, it stresses the need for you to consult a professional forester to ensure you obtain the highest dollar for your timber and that the harvest is conducted in a sustainable manner.
