Hill's Product Group is a sawmill and lumber business based in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, with its main plant and offices in Whitewood. It manufactures and distributes "quality wood products, treated lumber, rough lumber, pattern stock, pine & spruce boards, and much more." The species it works in are Ponderosa Pine and Engelmann Spruce, and it describes itself as one of the area's largest suppliers of rough sawn lumber and timbers. Its product line runs from treated lumber and fencing to pole barn timbers, laminated columns, foundation lumber and plywood, utility poles, bridge lumber, and livestock bedding made from pine shavings. The Whitewood site has a computer managed wood preservation plant using Koppers treatments, and the Belle Fourche site handles remanufacturing, molding, and distribution. It has weekly route trucks covering South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Northern Colorado, and Western Nebraska, and it has operated since 1985. This is a mill and distribution company that turns timber into finished wood products and ships them across a six-state area, not a business that buys standing timber off a landowner's acreage or walks a woodlot with them. A landowner is better served looking elsewhere for someone to mark trees, cruise a tract, or handle a stumpage sale. This listing fits someone looking for where Ponderosa Pine and Engelmann Spruce end up, not someone trying to sell it standing. From hillspg.com, read 10 October 2026.

Questions landowners ask
How many mills are there in South Dakota?
7 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the South Dakota forestry register, covering 5 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".
