One of the things that has really struck me as we have visited pellet mills, small wood mill operations and larger industrial mills is that each of them works in compliment with the others. They also each work to minimize any waste of wood. Wood that isn't suitable for finishing or using as framing lumber is turned into sawdust and is used either to fire kilns or is turned into pellets for retail sale.
Each of he plants we visited was in one way or another tied to the others. Its a symbiotic relationship in that each works with and is complimentary to the others. This was a surprise to me as I expected to see competition toward the other plants. It appears that each has developed its own niche and works to maximize that market.
