Timber Buyers, Loggers & Mills in Clinton County (1)
This buyer is based in Clinton County. Being close matters: hauling is one of the biggest costs taken out of your check.
Coomer & Sons Sawmill is a family-owned mill in Frankfort, Indiana, running since 1978. It buys hardwood logs from logging contractors, sometimes sending its own trucks out to a logging job or wood yard to pick them up. The main business is pallets, cut from cottonwood, hickory, poplar, maple, and oak, with most of them heat-treated for companies that ship overseas. Most pallets come off an automated nailing machine, turning out between 1,800 and 2,000 a day, but custom pallets, small orders, boxes, and crates are still built by hand with pneumatic nailing tools. Nothing goes to waste either: the leftover wood and bark become mulch, and the sawdust gets sold too, with demand for each shifting between the warm months and the cold ones. The business serves Clinton County. There's no stated minimum tract size, but this is a mill built around pallet-grade hardwood logs bought from contractors and wood yards, not a timber-sale operation that walks your acres with you. It fits a landowner who already has logs cut or lined up and wants a long-running Indiana mill, one that calls itself "a family-owned mill dedicated to providing high-quality lumber pallets," to buy and process them.

How much is my timber worth in Clinton 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 Clinton 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.
