NORTHWOODS - You may need to think twice before firing up the wood stove this winter. Several local logging companies have record low inventories for this time of year. Loggers say the weather stopped them from getting the timber they need. Last year's winter and this past summer have been less than kind to loggers.
"We've had a wet summer so far and in forest management, we have a lot of regulations and guidelines that we operate by," explained Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association Director Henry Schienebeck. "So a lot of times when it gets too wet, you just shut your operation down."
