The Nebraska wildfires have impacted so many across our state, and we are thinking of everyone working tirelessly to protect homes, land, and livestock.

We are incredibly grateful for the firefighters and first responders who have come together to help battle these fires. That kind of support is truly remarkable.

From all of us at Carhart Lumber, we are keeping everyone in our thoughts and praying for safety, strength, and rain.

Three major wildfires, including the largest one in Nebraska history, have burned around 600,000 acres of wildland in rural central and western Nebraska .

Why do our desks look like this? Because every single detail matters. Every note, every change, every price quote, every customer.

Our sales & design team don't just see lumber and materials — they see homes, families, and dreams taking shape. Our job is to answer questions, guide decisions, and make sure everything comes together the way it should.

At Carhart, we’re proud to help build your projects. We're proud to work hard for YOU.

What an incredible honor! 👏

Please join us in congratulating Scott Carhart on being recognized as an Honored Lumber Dealer 2025 by the South Dakota Retail Lumber Association.

Scott’s story begins in Wayne, Nebraska, where he was born and raised. A graduate of Wayne High School, he went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management from Wayne State College in 1984 and later completed his Master’s in Business Administration in 2005 — a testament to his lifelong commitment to learning and leadership.

Scott dedicated more than four decades to Carhart Lumber, serving from 1984–2025 and leading as Co-Owner alongside Brenda Carhart. His leadership helped shape not only our company, but the lumber industry across the region.

Beyond Carhart Lumber, Scott has given countless hours to industry and community service — serving on the AMMI Board of Directors (including time as Chairman), the SDRLA Board of Directors, as President of Carhart Lumber Company, and as a Wayne State College Foundation trustee. His dedication to strengthening both the industry and his community is truly remarkable.

Most importantly, Scott is a family man — married to Brenda and proud father of Hannah, Rachel, Zac, and Grace.

This recognition is a reflection of decades of hard work, integrity, and leadership. We couldn’t be more proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor. Congratulations, Scott! 🎉

We got a little long-winded this year, while recognizing our staff anniversaries — but the truth is, there really is something special to be said about each and every one of our employees across the Carhart company. Every word spoken was absolutely true.

Behind every location is a team of hardworking, dedicated individuals who absolutely deserve to be recognized for the effort they put in day after day.

Let’s be honest — this industry is not easy. Our sales teams and managers have navigated ever-changing housing markets, rising interest rates, a global pandemic, tariffs, supply challenges, and constant price changes. And through it all, they’ve continued to show up, adapt, and lead with professionalism and heart.

One thing we always stress is this: our staff isn’t just “punching a time clock.” They never have been. They are true experts in their field. We intentionally invest in knowledge, experience, and people because we believe our customers deserve to be guided by the very best. When you walk through our doors, you’re working with someone who knows the industry, understands the products, and genuinely cares about getting your project right.

Our promise to you is simple — to provide the most accurate information we can, to guide you with honesty and expertise, and to earn your trust every step of the way.

It’s been a great year, and we couldn’t be more proud of the people who make Carhart what it is. Thank you to our incredible team for everything you do — and thank you to our customers for trusting us with your projects.

We look forward to 2026 and can't wait to help our communities continue to grow and progress.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

We officially saved the best for last!! Help us congratulate Mel McBride on his 8 year anniversary with Carhart Lumber, Burwell!

8 years ago, Carhart Lumber proudly acquired Petersen Lumber in Burwell, NE — and with that acquisition came Mel McBride!

At the time, Mel was a salesman. Today, he’s one of our 10 incredibly dedicated Carhart Lumber Managers — and a true leader whose knowledge and experience are second to none.

Mel is always ready with his iconic smile and chuckle for anyone who walks through the doors at Carhart Lumber in Burwell. With 31 years in the building industry, Mel brings a depth of experience that can’t be taught. He began his career with Petersen Lumber back in 1994, and over the decades has built an incredible understanding of construction, building materials, and what it really takes to get a project done right.

From residential and commercial builds to ag-related projects, Mel knows this area, this industry, and the unique needs of the communities he serves. His product knowledge, problem-solving skills, and ability to guide customers through decisions with confidence make him a trusted resource for contractors, farmers, homeowners, and DIYers alike.

Beyond his expertise, Mel represents what this community values most: honesty, hard work, and taking care of people. His willingness to help anyone — whether it’s a customer, a neighbor, or a fellow Carhart brother — is absolutely unmatched. If you know Mel McBride, you know he’s a stand-up individual. The kind of person you trust with your project because he’ll go the extra mile… simply because he truly cares.

That’s why celebrating Mel’s 8-year Carhart anniversary means so much to us. We are incredibly grateful for his leadership, proud of the impact he’s made in Burwell, and truly thankful to call him Carhart family. 💙👏
