Analysis: Depressed lumber prices during the first five months of 2015 and light harvests affected Potlatch’s earnings, said Chairman and CEO Mike Covey. He’s expecting a stronger performance for the second half of the year, based on recovering lumber prices, higher harvest volumes and strong sales of recreational property in Minnesota.
