Diversified production solves many problems. For the buyer, it makes a specific wood available for a specific use, eliminatine the necessity for forced utilization of dxpensive or inadequate species for the job at hand. Moreovei,.it enables package purchasing. Many dealer requirements mly be met from a single source in the Western pine region by mixed car buying of one or more of the Western pines together with an assorment of associated woods.
For the producer, it lowers the unit costs of harvesting and manufacturing by increasing the per:acre yield of forest crops. It enables more comprehensive forestry practices by eliminating much of the competition to young pine growth. And it extends the supply of timber, very often at a point of balance whereon hinges the pepetuation or closure of a given mill.
The production of associated woods is here to stay. But its advent is a good deal less painful than anticipated. Altogether, not a bad piece of cake.
