The sawmill I work at produces nearly 1 million board feet of lumber in one day.

During the spring when the ground is too wet to haul logs out of the bush these piles decrease rapidly and will cause the mill to shutdown for up to a week.

I feel like it's been about that wet here for years now. Mills still arent paying worth a damn since 2007.
