They have to be dried, as the moisture content can create a problem.

Explanation:

The Tomsk region economy is rich in natural resources such as oil, natural gas, and the non-ferrous and ferrous minerals and thus forest is most significant in these regions. As they account for about 20% o the region lands, which is about half of the country's GDP and while agriculture about 12% only. As this region is sparsely populated the use of the trans-Siberian railways is essential part of the navigation from one place to another.
