To start, contact your local office of the Missouri Conservation
Commission and ask for a current copy of Timber Price Report.  Then, if
the volume (acreage) is big enough, immediately contact a consulting
forester for his opinion/recomendations.  The consultant will charge
you, but you will find the sale to be smother, and with a better income.

Susan, are you out there? Help these folks.
