Data compiled by the Forest Resource Utilization Section, Kentucky Division of Forestry.
The prices listed are a range based on species, grade, and specified purchased usage.
All commercial logging must be done in compliance with the Kentucky Forest Conservation Act.
This survey represents APPROXIMATE LOG PRICING RECEIVED AT THE MILL BY THE LOGGER OR INDIVIDUAL SELLING TO THE MILL. This DOES NOT represent, imply, or assume pricing for standing timber on your farm or woodland.
LAND OWNERS AND FARMERS PLEASE NOTE:
In order to make full use of this log pricing data; you should have a cruising report performed by a qualified forester showing species, grade, and footage of the standing timber on your property. Additionally, you must also understand the related expenses in harvesting and transporting timber from your property to the purchasing mill. Farmers and landowners will receive stumpage prices less than those listed in this report by as much as 50% or more in some instances. Costs of logging vary greatly due to access, proximity of the timber to a main road, terrain, distance to the purchasing mill, prevailing conditions, species composition, timber quality, timber size, footage per acre, market species demand, and costs associated with the use of appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs).
NOTE: All values are expressed for unsawn logs delivered to the mill in dollars per 1000 board feet (MBF) as estimated by the Doyle log rule unless otherwise noted.
