The Lumber Business of Indiana

Published: May 2, 2019, 4:30 a.m.

Ray Moistner is Executive Director of The Indiana Hardwood Lumbermens Association which represents wood from start to finish:  planting, extracting, replacing, cutting, shipping, protecting and manufacturing into finish products.

Much here that John and Morton did not know:  that Indiana, for example, replaces 2.3 trees for every tree removed, that we are not deforesting like Brazil, that out-of-state marauders stole Indiana timber until Ray's association lobbied to make such thefts a felony, and much more.
