Timber prices are about the most mysterious and elusive information around. There is no market price for timber in Wisconsin, or other regions as far as I know.
Market price is whatever a forest owner agrees to sell their stand of timber for at a given time.
Timber values from woodlot to woodlot can range from a few dollars per acre to a few thousand dollars per acre. Quality and Quantity vary tremendously , depending on site conditions and past management history. It takes a lot of sales experience to begin to estimate the value of a stand of timber. An estimate is helpful, but market value is only established when actual offers are make for specific trees. Timber price trends, and how to sell timber are topics that forest owners need to know.
