I've been through a couple of their mills up this way, St Leonard and Chipman. Most mills do this for PR. I've been in their Rothesay pulp mill to and in AV's pulp mill when Landegger owned it (twice). Been in Fraser's mill in Plaster Rock and their I-Joist plant in Juniper  and at Columbia's veneer mill in Presque Isle.

Ask Irving when their purchase price will be proportional to their lumber prices. Up here the lumber is as high as ever, but the log price isn't worth cutting most days.
