If your own industry can't meet demand, how does this do anything put poke a stick in the eye of the average Joe, looking to build a deck or a shed?

FFS they are just plain ignorant on how it works. It is an odd deal to see this happening now. On a side note, the proposed tariff rate is still less than it was in 2018. Lumber has such a weird market. It gets priced and sold like a commodity. The build up cycle for inventory is awful long for a commodity item especially in the Canadian harvest system. We saw their 2018 harvest reductions last year in our market. American consumers still kept buying overpriced lumber and ate up the harvest reserves. This will be a long year for those wanting to buy lumber. (Good news for Benmills) The new proposed tariffs are likely to create another short inventory cycle right when we are recovering from the last reduction. Probably more good news for Benmills that stay in business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
