CNN.com - Tree farmers enlisted to fight logging rule - Aug 20, 2004
It's very simple: they will do whatever is worse for the environment. I've mentioned this before. In this case, as in many others, there are economic cases to be made for both sides, but tree farmers don't outrate loggers because logging is worse for the environment than tree farming. The tree farmers are in higher-population states east of the Mississippi, the loggers in the giant empty Republican spaces in the West. Guess who wins out? It's a very simple rule.
