What this facility is
Sawmill
A sawmill breaks logs down into boards. Sawlogs are graded on diameter, straightness and defect before they reach the headrig, so this is the outlet that pays for stem quality rather than tonnage - and the slabs, edgings and sawdust it makes are what feed the chip, shavings and mulch trade around it.
What it takes
Hardwood is the only material the source records this facility as accepting.
What comes off it
The source names 2 product lines coming off this site: rough lumber and lumber.
No agency document says whether this facility is buying today, what it pays, the minimum load it will take, or how far it will haul. AXE USA does not check any mill's licence, insurance, ability, or whether it is still in business - this page republishes a public record and nothing more.
Reading this listing
What it means for your timber
The source goes no further than hardwood here, which is a starting point rather than a specification. The species guides take the trees one at a time - what each is cut for, how it is graded, and where the line between pulpwood and sawtimber falls.
It is one of 8 facilities listed in Saint Joseph County, which is where a search for a sawmill near me starts if your ground is in that county. The Saint Joseph County section of the state page has every one of them side by side, and all 302 Michigan listings run across 73 counties - which is the map that decides whether a load leaves your gate for twenty minutes or two hours.
Anybody searching for a sawmill near me needs more than one gate. If this one will not take your wood, the nearest other listings are Bontrager, Henry in Centreville, under a mile away, Borkholder Sawmill, LLC in Colon, 1 miles away and Stauffer Woodworking in Colon, 3 miles away. Distances are straight lines between the coordinates the sources published - not road miles, and not a statement that anybody is buying.
None of this says whether the gate is open or what the load would fetch - no agency document records that. A price comes out of a sale run properly: the landowner's guide to selling timber takes the steps in the order they happen, and sealed bidding puts one tract in front of several buyers at once instead of taking the first number offered.

Fields are never merged between documents: every line above came from this one record, so a listing from a source that publishes no phone number stays without one.
