Position_in_Organization: Owner Message: Dear Governor Musgrove: My company is a small wood treating plant using very small pine timber to make fence post. We prmote the use of renewable resources and biomass for fuel. I am writing to ask assistance to use more wood fence post on Mississippi highway right of ways. Over thelast few years' steel live post have taken over largely because of the influence of the steel industry. MSDOT has told me in the past that wood post out perform steel because they take the wear and tear better of highway right of way maintenance. This is because mowing machines do not damage wood as mush as steel. Governor Musgrove, we are a small industry battling giants but have been her 50 y ears using Mississippi's renewable resources. We need your help greatly.
