On September 4, 2025, the Pennsylvania FFA State Officer Team gained valuable insights into the hardwood industry with a tour of Barefoot Pellet Company. The visit, orchestrated by the Hardwood Development Council, showcased the industry’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency.
The officers learned how Barefoot Pellet Company turns 100% sawdust into hardwood pellets, a prime example of utilizing every part of the tree. This tour underscored the importance of minimizing waste and maximizing resources, a core principle of sustainable forestry.
We extend our gratitude to the Pennsylvania FFA Foundation, the FFA State Officer Team, the Hardwood Development Council, Darrel Showers, Mike Brammer, and Rachel Newberry for making this informative and impactful experience a reality.
