U.S. Department of Agriculture Establishes Softwood Lumber Research and Promotion Order

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has established a Softwood Lumber Research, Promotion, Consumer Education and Industry Information Order, which will be financed by an assessment on domestic manufacturers and importers of softwood lumber, and administered by a board of industry members selected by the Secretary of Agriculture. The program aims to strengthen the position of softwood lumber in the marketplace and develop new uses for it within the United States.
