IHLA annual convention underway in Indy

The Indiana Hardwood Lumberman’s Association (IHLA) kicked off their 112th annual convention on Wednesday, January 27 in Indianapolis. Ray Moistner, IHLA Executive Director tells Brownfield it’s an event that draws from a wide geography.

“We get people from 28 different states, three Canadian providences and probably places I’m not aware of,” said Moistner. “This is seen as the official kickoff to the year for the hardwood industry.”

At the annual Tree Farm Breakfast, Tim Werner of Dubois County was named IHLA Logger of the Year and Tree Farmer of the Year honors went to Mike and Leane Goering of Washington County.
