I do believe you are correct. I am hoping putting a business mind in the white house is going to put us, as a nation, in a better performing financial situation.

You too Bear. I am about ready to hang my chainsaw up for the year but for now it will have to keep taking up space in my bed.

Right now it's probably International Paper but sawmills are a very big part of our revenue too. Problem is here lately is that RMS moved in and bought most of IP's timber land and have kept the market consistently flooded since 2010 or so. We have started to adapt and are beginning to cut trees earlier than we used to for pulp wood rather than holding onto them for double the time for only 33% more money on the ton.

Tldr; about even right now but shifting to pulp wood. Lol

Just wondered- we have truck loads of logs delivered daily!!- and many different suppliers-but it could be the timber cutters are sub contracting the haulers.-
Is Domtar still in operation down that way?
