The Pennsylvania FFA State Officer Team got a firsthand look at the hardwood industry on September 4, 2025, during a tour of Cummings Lumber Company. The visit, hosted by the Hardwood Development Council, focused on educating the officers about the opportunities, challenges, and overall impact of this vital industry.
The tour provided a comprehensive view of the lumber process, starting in the log yard where the officers saw how raw logs are transformed into finished lumber packs and prepared for transport. This experience highlighted the importance of sustainable forestry practices, a key focus of the Hardwood Development Council.
A big thank you to the Pennsylvania FFA Foundation, the FFA State Officer Team, the Hardwood Development Council, Darrel Showers, Mike Brammer and Rachel Newberry for making this valuable learning opportunity possible.
