The harvesting of wood, is nt what is around the corner, or in the back lot. Harvesting of wood is on a radius basis. eg 25, 50, 75, 100 radius of any mill, and is essentially a function of transport costs. Pine is generally grown on non flood prone areas, Hardwoods are more likely grown in swampy type areas, or low lands. What you will find is that different mills have the same harvesting circles. Hence the reason as to why the curtailment in Counce Production, but not at Decature, or Miss mill is a an enigma wrapped in a mystery.

It is well known that the Counce facilities produces 2500 tons per day plus, this translates into about 6 - 7000 ton per day of tress, most clever people keep an inventory which is carefully mananged for freshness, but having a 3 week inventory is not unusual. Hence again Positive Planning Prevents Poor Performance. I see my stock has dropped from $21+ to $18+ I think there is a majority of people thinking like I do.

Anything logical or constructive to add Mr/Ms 52.
