Given the promise of small businesses for revitalizing rural economies, the federal 

 government might consider developing policies that would provide a predictable source of 

 wood supply for small wood products businesses in rural counties. Such a wood allocation 

 policy appears to be a viable means for promoting sustainable rural development in counties 

 that would otherwise be likely to continue suffering from economic marginalization, 

 poverty, and political alienation.
