The leftist lumbersexuals are going to be “outraged”.
Hey Canada, keep your lumber. We’ll make out own.
More WINNING for Mississippians who want to work!
Hey Canada, keep your lumber. Well make out own.

Yeah boy. We are in the lumber mfg business big time
Vicksburg Forest Products will manufacture southern yellow pine lumber
At American prices!
Being as I work for a building Materials manufacturer, I can only utter a hearty Huzzah!
Anderson Tully used to make decking for rail cars, trailers, etc. All of that was hardwood. I used to get scraps for fire wood. I wonder what happened to that business.
There is a shortage of lumber and raw lumber prices are sky high.
Lumber is a commodity.
Therefore, Vicksburg Forest Products will sell its lumber for the very most it can get on a daily basis. If the market goes down, they will sell for less.
Almost all NEW lumber production in the North America is coming from AL, MISS, TX, Quebec and Ontario. Production is going down in western Canada. It is up slightly in the Pacific Northwest(OR, WA, ID, MT).
Southern Yellow Pine is the cheapest lumber resource in the world. SYP trees can grow to a harvestable size in a much shorter time than any other major lumber specie group in the world. This is why Canfor, West Fraser, Interfor and Tolko(western Canadian mills) have all bought SYP mills in the last 5-10 years.
All the projections show that SYP will increase North American market share over the next 40 years.
The Lumber Broker
A change of business model seems a strange choice for a buyer. Also, there are significant differences between hardwood and SYP as regards cutting characteristics, etc. The new workforce will take a while to train up for full production, IMO.
Good for Vicksburg.
Also for the new mill going up in Lufkin, TX.

Random Lengths is the softwood lumber industry publication source for production, pricing, news, etc.
If you scroll through Random Lengths you will see almost all the new production in lumber is coming from the south or northeast.
a direct result of increased tariffs recently imposed on Canadian lumber ... which did NOT hurt buyers of new homes, but instead is providing new jobs and new houses built from U.S. lumber instead of foreign lumber ...
Thanks for the information.

What Free Traitors want you to believe is that the supply function is static and no new domestic suppliers will EVER come on line. Despite their best efforts brand new factories are still being built in the USA all the time. Not as many as are closed mind you but the situation is dynamic and not static. With more domestic supply will mean pressure to reduce prices.
Primarily these species:
Loblolly Pine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_taeda
Shortleaf Pine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_echinata
Slash Pine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_elliottii
Longleaf Pine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_palustris
I’ve bid on a couple of jobs at the Anderson-Tully mill about ten or twelve years ago. One of the few steam-shotgun operated saw carriages still around.
They cut the hardwood into long strips and glued up the decking.
Loblolly, Shortleaf, Slash and Longleaf as a group are referred to Southern Yellow Pines.
These softwood tree species are primarily used for framing lumber, plywood and flooring.
A large percentage of the framing lumber 1x4-1x12 and 2x4- 2x12 plus timbers 4x4 and larger are the primary specie used in pressure treated lumber. It is also used throughout the country in roof and floor trusses because its strength/density in relation to other softwood species.
