Report
AFP is who I recommend selling your timber to if your a small timer like myself and your just looking for a buck. I pass probably 20 other mills to get to AFP. they all will gladly buy my timber but nobody, and I mean nobody, will top the prices that they are paying for good quality hardwood logs. Its more than double compared to any other mills around. I travel 3 hours each way to sell To Donnie. Hes very well educated on what it takes in that business. Hes honest and you do t have to worry about him trying to cheat you. Go to AFP.
