This week’s blog is very short, as we are working hard to finish our first quarter this week. We have seen a pretty significant uptick in order and inquiry activity, both domestic and international. The double whammy of price increases driven by higher log costs + freight increases driven by higher diesel prices is eye-opening to many. We are in great shape on logs and adding overtime shifts in April at both mills to meet our customers’ demand. But it is time buyers extend their purchasing windows, as you will see from the stock listing below, and we are finding it harder to react to prompt shipment orders. It is great to see better business, but this will create hurdles in the future. At Cascade, we will do everything possible to help each of our valued customers, as times like these are when our team shines. More next week, need to finish Q1…
