100% sure it's Hackberry... although usually the chips are almost basswood white. Strange
I agree that the bark is hackberry. But it has snow white wood(usually).
Any yellow wood I have seen was Mulberry. Not sure on this one however.
The bark looks very much like hackberry, but I have also seen "warty" bark sometimes on sweetgum and winged elm (Ulmus alata). I don't think you have that one up there; it seems to be mostly a southern tree.
Hackberry. Chips probably seem more yellow than normal if they are landing on pure white snow.
100% Hackberry. I don't care what color the chips are. No mistaking that bark.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
I thought hack berry as well but like others the chips were so darn yellow compared to what I have seen. But SVK you could be right about the snow but they were definitely darker than basswood or the sugar maple I cut.

Hackberry. Maybe sugarberry which I haven't cut but I'm pretty sure it's really just hackberry by another name.
Minnesota might be a little too far north for Sugarberry though.. .

hackberry...bark is tougher than alligator skin...
I've never heard of Sugarberry so I did a search. According to the map it only makes it as far north as the bottom of Virginia, and that it likes low lands, Joe.
I've only seen sugarberry in Georgia although I'm sure it grows elsewhere
