Forest Industry Opportunities in Rural Development

U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service

No 308898, Agricultural Information Bulletins from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Many areas in the United States that contain large numbers of low-production farms are heavily forested. We hope this booklet will encourage local leaders to take a close look at the woodlands in their areas, for the timber there may be the principal resource on which to establish new industrial operations. The purpose of this booklet, then, is to highlight—for local development groups such as rural development committees, chambers of commerce, industry development agencies, banking and business groups—some opportunities for small wood industries suited to low-income counties in or adjacent to forests.
