Ohio Valley Chipping is a chip mill in Greenup, Kentucky, right along the Ohio River. It is part of the Ohio Valley Veneer family of operations, started in 2003 by Ed Robbins. This yard does not saw lumber. It takes in pulpwood logs, hardwood and softwood both, and runs them through an 83 inch four-knife chipper. From there the chips go out either by barge down the river or by semi truck. The chips are produced for paper manufacturer clients, named as Pixelle in Chillicothe, Ohio and Domtar in Hawesville, Kentucky. The mill turns out around 120,000 tons of chips a year. The broader Ohio Valley Veneer operation, which runs this chip mill alongside several sawmills, describes itself as specializing in "the timbering and cutting of hardwoods," and holds timberland and contracts across Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. For this Greenup location specifically, the county served is Greenup, Kentucky. This listing is for landowners whose property is mostly pulpwood-grade timber rather than sawlog-quality hardwood, and who are close enough to the Ohio River corridor near Greenup to move logs there for chipping rather than milling.

How much is my timber worth in Greenup 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. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Greenup 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 forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Greenup County?
No price series is published for Greenup County on its own. Kentucky's latest published stumpage figures (Missouri Department of Conservation, Q2 2026) put white oak sawlogs at $425 per thousand board feet. 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.
