a big year Eastern Iowa Farmer photo / Brooke Taylor John Noonan, who handles purchasing and marketing for the retail division of Cascade Lumber in Cascade, talks with customer Tom English at his Bernard farm. Noonan said he and the store staff have been working hard to meet customer needs the last 18 months. “There’s no doubt it’s been stressful,” Noonan said. “This is a retail business. Things will be back to normal, but it is hard to say what the new normal is.” seen many ups and downs in business cycles, the past 18 months is unlike anything he’s experienced in his more than four decades in the business. “It’s historic. I don’t know what hasn’t been touched by workforce issues. The supply chain was another issue. The pandemic really forced us to look at what we’ve done and what we’re going to do in the future,” he said. Cascade Lumber used the situation as an opportunity to cultivate a new generation of employees who will bring fresh skills and hopefully be long-term members of the team, Noonan said. He and others in similar businesses have adjusted practices to help meet customer needs; and they’ve learned, above all, that being adaptable is key.
