Preserving Poles to Meet Rapidly Growing Demand
The forest service studies pole preservation to extend life and cut renewal demand for the 800,000 miles of lines needing 32,000,000 poles. Winter cutting dries poles more evenly, with less moisture loss later, while spring and summer cuts reduce early drying but save on shipping. Soaking poles increases seasoning rate, and careful cutting minimizes checking and splitting during drying.
