Individual landowners are at a disadvantage in the timber and wood product market. Few people have the experience, time, or money to sustainably manage a forest, or process and market wood products. The LFC pools timber sales to negotiate for a higher stumpage price and get the best return possible to the landowner. We also pool timber for value-added processing (such as sawing logs into lumber or lumber into flooring) to get better rates on milling and trucking. The LFC staff Markets the finished product (be it logs or custom millwork) saving the landowner time and money.
