A wet summer can make logging and hauling challenging. A dry summer is a landowner’s, logger’s, and forester’s dream, as production delays are generally limited.

So where do we sit this summer? Troy shares his perspective in our recent blog.

How does a dry vs wet summer impact logs? In this article, we discuss log handling in the summertime and how wet vs dry conditions impact the decisions we make with logs.
