Mississippi taxes farm tractors, logging equipment, and manufacturing machinery at a reduced 1.5 percent instead of the full 7 percent, one of the biggest equipment tax breaks in the South. The state is also in a manufacturing reshoring push, keeps shipyards busy on the Gulf, and has a poultry and timber economy that runs on trucks, loaders, and skidders.
We place Mississippi files with lenders that fund construction, forestry, farm, and trucking equipment across the state, from a Jackson site-work contractor to a Hattiesburg logging crew to a Delta row-crop farm. Options in 24 to 48 hours on a soft inquiry.

Questions we get
Is a skidder really taxed at 1.5 percent in Mississippi?
Yes. Logging equipment, farm tractors and implements, and manufacturing machinery are taxed at a reduced 1.5 percent instead of 7 percent. The dealer applies the rate at purchase.
Do you finance poultry house equipment?
Yes. Poultry equipment, feed trucks, and litter equipment are financed on ag programs, with schedules that can match grower payments.
Can a new logging crew get a used feller buncher financed?
Yes. Forestry is a specialized program with age and hour limits. Industry experience counts even when the company is new.
