Vision Statement

The continued long-term expansion of the state's primary and secondary wood processing industries not only depends on the national and international economy, but on the individual firm's ability to compete by efficiently using raw materials and utilizing existing and new technology. Wood Products Extension concentrates its efforts on providing educational opportunities for managers and key personnel of primary and secondary wood processing firms and the consumers of wood products. These opportunities allow clientele to develop knowledge and skills to further their effectiveness in the assembly, processing, distribution, and use of wood products. Thus their competitiveness in our growing international economy can be improved.
