Trees for example take decades to be usable for lumber but it only takes a few minutes to saw one down.

How does the industry maintain a balance when daily demand is constant?

    Logging is done to order too. Crews are directed to lots that have the type and grade of logs, and are cut to lengths that match what the clients are ordering and the ships are ready to take (here in NZ where most logs are exported)

      there’s that, too. a lot of it depends on what’s being farmed, and how much regular deamand there is for it.
