allow the machine to run in “auto-mode” without pause, in
turn improving operator decisions and reducing responsibility
on the operator for productivity.
Allowing the operator to see four faces simultaneously,
and identifying white spots, blond knots, low contrast color
variation, etc., system overrides will be rare, according to
a company statement. As the AI framework processes and
stores information over time, the AutoMAXX will begin to
utilize max available grade estimates to influence cutting
solutions several cuts ahead.
Providing a significant increase in grade/value recovery,
as well as reducing operator responsibility, error, injury
and fatigue, the AutoMAXX optimizer provides estimated
‘max grade’, SM and value of each face with high accuracy.
Also, Matt Tietz, vice president/owner of McDonough,
recently announced the following equipment installations.
McDonough is a family-owned and operated manufacturer
of custom sawmill machinery.
Recent installations include:

with both parties exerting some control over pieces of the
legislative process.
The first order of business in the new year for the Hardwood
Federation staff will be to connect with new Members
of Congress and the Administration to educate them
about the U.S. Hardwood industry and its contributions to
the economy at both the state and federal levels. Early in
the year we will be touching base with returning Committee
Chairs and making ourselves known to new leadership.
Identifying those in positions to help us, what points
of agreement exist and who we need to win over to our
way of thinking are at the top of our to-do list.
To prepare for 2021, the Hardwood Federation Board of
Directors provided both the Trump and Biden campaign
teams a list of our priorities for the new Congress. This
list serves as our starting point for advocacy efforts and
will also be shared with Senate and House leaders. Unexpected
issues will inevitably arise, but these are the issues
we hope to focus on over the next year. The Federation
Board recommends that the new Administration:
• Enter into international agreements that promote free
and fair global trade systems, grow the demand for U.S.
Hardwoods around the world, and avoid the kinds of punitive
retaliatory tariffs that have devastated the U.S. Hardwood
industry.
• Maintain and increase USDA funding that supports
growing global markets for U.S. Hardwood and Hardwood
products, specifically USDA’s Foreign Market Development
Program and Market Access Program.
• Implement policies that promote and foster strong domestic
markets for U.S. Hardwood and Hardwood products
including new funding to research the environmental
and home health benefits of Hardwood products.
• Support public and private green building initiatives
by extending a sustainable tax credit to building and construction
projects, including U.S. wood products, used in
these projects.
• Increase government purchases of U.S. structural and
finished wood products for federal building and transportation
projects and for U.S. military truck beds.
