My local yard, Lakeland Lumber in Shrub Oak NY, has a good supply of cedar but all the boards are rough on one side. Is this what most folks are buying and then run them through the planer to clean up the one side?

Liberty has this rough-on-one-side cedar siding as well as smooth on both sides material. When I get the rough siding, I will skip plane the rough side to make it smooth.
