Today, demand is soft and thus prices are soft, thus squeezing profits and cashflow. This has not happened in the surviving grades for a long time (we have nearly stopped producing any grades that were designed for their communicating ability, today the industry is composed largely of those grades demanded for their physical properties). We have been remarking for the last few weeks that the containerboard segment is undergoing unprecedented turmoil. Now this turmoil has hit the board rooms.

Some of us older members of the industry are called experienced. You've probably heard the old sayings that experience people are just ones who have survived their mistakes.

Learning from the farmers (relevance: 53%, date: Aug 1, 2023)
Urban centric people tend to look down on the agricultural world as being backwards, unlearned and out of date. Nothing could be further from the truth. If one puts a stick in the ground about 1810 and measures progress in productivity and efficiencies since then, no industry has outpaced agriculture. Agriculture advances in genetics (plant and animal), fertilization, irrigation, equipment and electronics have been outpaced by no one. Even our own industry is dependent the thriving growth of one sector of agriculture...forests. So, when I see an advancement in agriculture, I pay attention and consider how we might use it in our own industry.
