Some of the logging contracts here, people bid on those even if they are going to end up with little profit, or even in the red. The amount you can get for timber is way down, lots of former competitors have dropped out of the game. I asked one company owner who has given me free reign to work for him whenever I want (seldom do), why he bids on some of the jobs. He tells me that it at least keeps his boys active, and getting contracts puts you better in line to get more rewarding ones that do come up in the future. Some complexities in how it all works, but I guess that there is logic to that. I also know that he borrows money fairly regularly to keep his operation going. It must be a new phenomenon, intentionally working in the red.
