Monday we testified at the Office of Management and Budget regarding minimum pellet fuel requirements. We've been at this six years. Story and comments here: bit.ly/32snvHS

Yesterday myself and two past chair's of the PFI made our case regarding minimum pellet fuel requirements to the Office of Management and Budget. We're hopeful that we are near the end of a road that reaches back six years. Watch website for story and my comments.

Who is that masked man? Photo of the week features Gene Yoder from member Fiber By-Products in White Pigeon, Michigan. Analysis of most recent @EIAgov monthly fuel report. pellet.memberclicks.net/pell…

#1 Pic of 2019. My hands down favorite. A great day all around. Energized members educating their elected representatives about how wood pellets support the larger forest products segment and offer a clean, renewable home heating solution. #heatlocal - tp

#4 of the Top 20 Pics of 2019. Fiber-yard at a member plant in Maine. Wood pellet production adds value ($$) and provides a home for the residuals from upstream wood product manufacturing. This fact doesn't get enough publicity.

Happy to announce that O'Malley Wood Pellets has returned to our organization. Looking forward to adding their voice and energy to our efforts to increase the awareness with consumers of wood pellets as a home heating and barbecuing fuel. #heatlocal

#5 in Top 20 Pics of 2019. Pellet manufacturing adds value to residues all across the wood products sector. Here worn out staves from bourbon barrels get ready for shipment to member producer @EnergexPellets for conversion into Jim Beam BBQ Pellets.

#6 of Top 20 Pics of 2019. In October members of our team performed a day of Hill visits. Educating our elected representatives about what we do and how we fit into the broader wood products category is time well spent. Here our chairman thanks @RepMcKinley for his time.

#11 of 20 Best pics of 2019. Always like to darken the doors of non-members. Packsaddle Pellets in Oregon is an impressive facility. Hoping to add them as a member in 2020. One of the cleaner plants I've ever visited. #heatlocal

Has it already been a week? Members of our great board outside the Cannon House Office building. #PFIinDC
