In recent years, in large part due to a lack of logging capacity and also other regional factors including available wood and changing weather patterns, the forest products industry has seen some mills and large forestland management companies bring logging and road crews in-house — examples of taking direct ownership of various stages of a company’s production process rather than relying on external contractors, i.e., vertical integration.
In this episode, The Northern Logger speaks with Eric Ross, general manager of Lyme Adirondack Forest Company (LAFCO), about their recent foray into in-house logging and road crews. LAFCO manages 235,000 acres of land in the Adirondacks, the largest private ownership in New York State.
For more on this topic and to see photos of LAFCO’s crew, read our article in the August issue of the Northern Logger entitled “Vertical Integration: A Tale of Two Operations.”
