1st Quarter Timber Prices For Landowners In Northwest Mississippi The 1st Quarter of 2022 was a mixed bag of prices for timber in the Northwest Mississippi area which includes both the Delta and Hills based on prices by Mississippi State and other sources. While there is increased demand for timber products, the oversupply of some types of timber as a result of decades of tree planting through USDA conservation programs remains a long term problem. Pine Sawtimber stumpage in Northwest Mississippi ranged from $16 to $40 per ton with the high end comparing favorably to other states of the region - Alabama $29/ton, Florida $32 to $40/ton, and Georgia $25 to $38/ton. In Northwest Mississippi the prices for Pine Chip-N-Saw ranged from $5.50 to $19.09/ton, and Pine Pulpwood from $1.00 to $5.00/ton. Oak Sawtimber ranged from $32 to $46/ton, Mixed Hardwood $15 TO $45/ton, and Hardwood Pulpwood $2 to $18/ton. Some thinnings of planted pine plantations average 32 tons per acre which would only yield $32 per acre to landowners if sold on the low end of 1st Quarter prices at $1 per ton for Pine Pulpwood. It is always important to retain licensed foresters and licensed real estate brokers when selling timber and land in order to get a fair market price. Mississippi State University provides current timber prices to landowners every quarter and there are a number of private subscription services available as well. --- Robert W.

A Day Without Electricity A Day Without Electricity Entergy had a planned all day outage for our neighborhood so they could do an overhaul of the substation. They cut the power off at 7:52 AM and turned it back on at 5:40 PM. I had the generators and power banks ready but a day with no electricity is a challenge. It took 3 of the long, orange extension cords to power the fridge, freezer, tv, laptop, tablet, and coffee pot. About halfway through the day the Wen generator developed some type of mechanical problem and shut down. I got it started again and then it shut down again. After that I lowered the usage and moved everything to the other generator for the rest of the day. While not a prepper, being in a frequent tornado, hurricane, and ice storm zone has prompted me to have at least a minimal amount of preparation. It was eerie when with no postal mail and no stores or gas stations open on a Saturday. --- Robert W.
