It's good for the mills. They only have to deal with a few dealers. It definitely slices the pie more but we, the landowners, have no choice. I don't know how yalls loggers are up there, but here, trying to get the majority to comprehend something, ANYTHING, can be quit a challenge. So, the mills won't cut them (the dealer) out. Slicing the pie one more time only hurts the loggers and landowners, not the mill.
