White Plains, KY

S & S Stave Co., Inc. is a hardwood mill based in White Plains, Kentucky, with a log yard and stave mill at 1265 Trabue Rd. It also runs a second log yard in Leitchfield. It's listed as a mill that works with hardwood and serves Hopkins County. If you've got hardwood timber on your land, this is a place to call about selling logs rather than standing timber for harvest. The White Plains location is the main yard and stave mill, so that's likely where logs get processed. The Leitchfield yard gives landowners further out another drop point. There's a phone number on hand for each location, 270-621-0878 for White Plains and a separate line for Leitchfield, so you can ask them directly what they're buying and what they need from a load before you haul anything over. This fits a landowner who already has hardwood logs ready to sell and wants a straightforward mill buyer, not a full-service logging or consulting outfit. From ssstave.com, read 4 October 2026.

White Plains, KY

S S Stave Co Inc is a sawmill in White Plains, Kentucky. It runs its main log yard and stave mill at 1265 Trabue Rd in White Plains, with a second log yard in Leitchfield. This is a mill operation, so the work here is processing logs rather than walking your woods to mark a sale. If you're a landowner in Hopkins County with timber ready to move, this is a place that takes logs in. Beyond the two yard locations, there isn't more detail laid out about species handled or how a job runs step by step. If you want to know whether your timber fits what they take, a call to the White Plains yard at 270-621-0878 would clear that up. This listing suits a landowner who already has logs cut or nearly ready and wants a mill to deliver to, rather than someone starting from scratch and needing a forester to walk the land first.

How much is my timber worth in Hopkins 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.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Hopkins 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.
