Kansas Area Lumber mills?

Does anyone here know of a good place/s in Kansas to buy rough sawn lumber? I have contacted to mills and they act as if I am bothering them because I am just a home hobbyist not looking for huge purchases.

Thinking about it even places in the northern part of Oklahoma would work also. I am leary of purchasing from online vendors but this may be my only option vs. the big box stores.

Any help would be great.
