During times like these, when business is good, many construction companies default to buying equipment, but buying isn’t always the right decision.

Due to it's impact on the oil industry, the clean-burning nature and renewability of ethanol has been touted for its reduced impact on the environment. Ethanol is grown and produced in the U.S., creating jobs and stimulating the economy in some of the nation's rural and struggling areas.

Like it or not, high tech is here to stay in the building industry; as more companies embrace new machinery and methods, they reap the rewards of having an advantage over their competitors. As new tech increases productivity and efficiency while providing detailed information and insight into the business, more construction companies will gain interest in innovation.

While wood is renewable, the method used by loggers to harvest lumber can have a dramatic impact on the health of the forest and its ability to regenerate. Although "clear cutting" is still the most common logging method, "selective logging" has gained popularity in recent years as it lacks some of the negative aspects associated with other logging methods.   [Read More](https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/the-benefits-of-selective-logging) Topics: [Forestry Industry](https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/topic/forestry-industry) [Previous](https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/author/yokohama-atg-team/page/58) [All posts](https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/all) [Next](https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/author/yokohama-atg-team/page/60) ## Subscribe Here Sign up to receive email updates and to hear what's going on with us! ### About the Yokohama-ATG Blog Yokohama-ATG (Y-ATG) is a global leader in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of commercial tires for a diverse range of applications which include agriculture, forestry, construction, industrial, earthmoving, mining, and port operations.
