Primary Industries
The resource industries of forestry, fishing and farming involved hard work outdoors, obeying nature's cycles. In the forestry industry, for example, trees were cut in the winter, formed into rafts and floated to the lumber mills in the spring, cut and shipped in the summer. Technology also affected their development. In the fishery, the advent of the small marine engine allowed the fisherman independence from the tides.
