Rural Electrification Tests Highlight WV Sawmill Study
The West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station on Morgantown campus completed three years of operation of a trailer mounted sawmill designed for custom farm cutting. It saved over 1.1 million board feet for 51 landowners, with production ranges from under 5,000 to over 20,000 board feet per operation. The design features include auto aligning connectors and locking screw jacks reducing vibration. The report notes rural electrification as vital for production, citing 890,000 farms still without power and farm power use up 500 percent since 1940, amid manpower shifts to the armed services.
