Timber Buyers, Loggers & Mills in Yalobusha County (1)
This buyer is based in Yalobusha County. Being close matters: hauling is one of the biggest costs taken out of your check.
Yalobusha Kiln is a sawmill in Coffeeville, Mississippi, at 46 Oak St. It buys hardwood logs, mills them, dries the lumber, and sells it. It also does custom milling for landowners who want their own trees turned into boards. The business was founded in 2023, and its owners, Andrew Chiles and Ryan Pierce, bring over a decade of experience in lumber and furniture work. It serves Yalobusha County. Log purchasing covers white oak, walnut, cherry, catalpa, osage orange, maple, hickory, and pecan, with a focus on logs under 36 inches across. It takes cedar and cypress on occasion. The company does not pick up logs at this time, so logs must be brought to the Coffeeville location, though it can unload your trailer. Custom milling costs $0.70 per board foot for flat sawn boards and $1 per board foot for dimensional boards. That price includes stickering the wood and a pallet for air drying. Kiln drying costs $1.00 per board foot, with room for over 4,000 board feet at a time. A kiln charge takes about a month. If you lack space, you can leave your boards on the air-drying lot. Lumber is also sold in live-edge and dimensional form, and in certain cases the shop offers millwork through its sister business, Ryan Pierce Furniture, LLC. The owners put it this way: "Some trees are too important to rot in a ditch." Yalobusha Kiln suits a landowner with hardwood logs who can haul them to town and wants them milled and dried, whether to sell back or to keep for their own use.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Yalobusha County?
7 businesses are listed for Yalobusha County: 6 consulting foresters and 1 buyer, logger or mill. 2 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Yalobusha 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. Mississippi State University Extension Service publishes the quarterly Mississippi Timber Price Report, state-wide average stumpage in $/ton, 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Yalobusha 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? →Do I need a permit to cut timber in Mississippi?
Mississippi has no statewide permit and no notification to harvest timber on your own land — the article of the state code that once regulated forest harvesting was repealed in 2017, and the Forestry Commission's own step-by-step harvest guidance has no permit or notice step in it. Best Management Practices are published by the Forestry Commission and the state calls their use voluntary, but voluntary is not the same as unenforceable: Mississippi law makes it unlawful to cause pollution of state waters, the Department of Environmental Quality investigates and enforces against harvests that do, and the federal Clean Water Act exemption for forest roads and site preparation depends on following the mandatory practices. Counties have less room here than in Georgia or Alabama — since 16 March 2018 no Mississippi county or municipality may adopt an ordinance restricting forestry activity on agricultural land — but ordinances already in place before that date still stand, so check with your county before work starts. One more thing worth knowing: if someone cuts your trees without your consent, Mississippi sets the damages at double the fair market value of the timber plus the cost of replanting, and an honest mistake is not a defence.
Permit rules in Mississippi →What is timber worth in Yalobusha County?
No price series is published for Yalobusha County on its own. Mississippi's latest published stumpage figures (Mississippi State University Extension, Q2 2026) put oak sawtimber at $57.35 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.
