sawmill byproducts

Southland Forest Products Inc is a timber-buying business in Valdosta, Georgia, with its office at 1110 Old Clyatville Rd. It buys timber and takes sawmill byproducts. It says it can support a small tract kept for recreation as well as a large tract "producing sustainable income." The area it serves is Lowndes County. Southland is a subsidiary of The Langdale Company, which has been in business for over 125 years. The parent runs mills and forest products operations in South Georgia. Southland has buyers for its own wood needs, and one of them handles mill residuals for the Langboard MDF plant. Logging is done by contractors who are Master Logger or Master Timber Harvester trained. Every load goes through the company's security system, and records are given to the landowner. The mills use certified scales and print a scale ticket for every load, with electronic backup, so the weighing and the paperwork are both spelled out. This suits a landowner who wants every load weighed and recorded, and who has either a small tract for recreation or a larger one meant to produce income.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Lowndes County?

20 businesses are listed for Lowndes County: 2 consulting foresters and 18 buyers, loggers and mills. 18 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Lowndes County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. University of Georgia Extension publishes an annual timber situation and outlook report with recent quarterly figures, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Lowndes County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.

Do I need a permit to cut timber in Georgia?

Georgia has no statewide permit for cutting timber on your own land, and state law forbids a county to require one or to charge a fee for a timber harvest notification. What a county may require is the notification itself: where its ordinance calls for one, the harvester files it before entering the property if possible and no later than 24 hours after entering, and the county may ask for a bond of up to $5,000 against damage to its roads. Not every county has an ordinance, so check with yours before work starts. Georgia's Best Management Practices are not a permit programme, but following them is how a harvest stays clear of the water-quality law that is enforceable.

What is timber worth in Lowndes County?

No price series is published for Lowndes County on its own. Georgia's latest published stumpage figures (University of Georgia Extension, Q3 2025) put mixed hardwood sawtimber at $26–$32 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
