December, 2006
A note from Kerris . . .
Well I could talk about all the successes the company had this
year; how many mills we sold, the fancy new gizmo's we've designed, the
awesome Skillmill we just released, and all the (totally valid) reasons why you
should buy our product over the next guy's....
Or I could focus on the people that made it all happen. The
individuals that do their own thing, often thousands of miles apart, but who
all - sometimes even unknowingly - work together to develop and grow Peterson
Sawmills as we know it today. What did they do in 2006?
Owners and operators are the backbone of our development,
and the fuel for progress. They give us valuable operational feedback, which
directly results in those yearly upgrades. They travel hundreds of miles for
us, proudly demonstrating their mill at various field days and equipment shows.
They spend hours on the phone and internet, answering 'newbie' questions and
helping other new owners get started. Guys just like Tom (& Kate), Jeff,
John, Russell, Mark, Lester and Doug, Gary, Kel, Stan, Craig, Chris, Raymond, Jimmy,
Matt, Gary, Rob, Foxleys and Bryce. . . Keep
Reading.

Article: Trading Timber Volume for
Value . . .
The opportunity to obtain periodic income from wood production is one of the most tangible benefits of forests, but not necessarily the most
important. Some owners prefer to affect changes in forest habitat for favoured species; others simply want to improve access or to create a network
of
trails for recreation; and some want it all. Almost regardless of an owner's primary interests in forests, timber opportunities will figure into the
mix at some point. An owner also needs to know about managing forests for timber, even if periodic income from timber is the most subordinate
objective. Keep
