Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the sawmill industry is its pattern of ownership. Nearly all of the mills producing more than 10 million board feet annually are owned by multi-State corporations headquartered outside of Montana. In figure 27, the shares of Montana's 1973 lumber output are identified for all corporations owning mills that in the aggregate produced more than 50 million board feet within the State (Forest Industries 1974b).

Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the sawmill industry is its pattern of ownership. Nearly all of the mills producing more than 10 million board feet annually are owned by multi-State corporations headquartered outside of Montana. In figure 27, the shares of Montana's 1973 lumber output are identified for all corporations owning mills that in the aggregate produced more than 50 million board feet within the State (Forest Industries 1974b). Those corporations alone produce more than three-fourths of the State's total lumber. Major lumber producers are important nationally as well as within Montana. Louisiana-Pacific, currently the nation's leading lumber producer, in 1973 acquired several wood products firms in Montana. In the aggregate, Montana lands contribute about one-fourth of the total United States production of these corporate giants (table 2).. Annual production of firm: V/A Less than 10 million bd. ft. ? 10-50 million bd. ft. ? Over 50 million bd. ft.
