Buying direct from lumber mills can tough for a small business as you have to buy truckloads and wait several weeks for delivery of an unseen product. When I ran a lumberyard to supply my deck building co. I opted to buy from wholesalers instead. Here I had to set up as a retail yard with forklift, fenced yard, signage and sales tax I'd number.
I still buy from local mills from time to time if I have need for locally grown lumber, mainly logs used for peeled post. Sometimes I get a call for Texas red cedar or cypress but not much.
If local sawmills produce the type of logs you can use for your pole barns they could save you major bucks.
