Logging industry hits slump in Minn.

Logging industry hits slump in Minn.

Quote:

BEMIDJI, Minn. - Just a few years ago, northern Minnesota had about 350 logging companies that employed several thousand people.
But this winter, nearly 20 percent of those companies are out of business.
Four of the state's largest lumber mills have shut down, though some of them could start operating again depending on the economy.
Some logging companies that are still operating wonder how long they can stay in business.
