MyTake DAN SHELL

Beginnings Way back in the 1940s my father was a local kid with smarts. Born into a farming family in Butler County, Ala., he grew up loving his family, the land, animals and hunting and fishing. He was even working his way into the timber industry: The folks running W.T. Smith Lumber in Chapman gave him a summer job learning to cruise and mark timber, and he planned to attend Auburn University and go into forestry. Problem was, a nearby fish pond in the tiny community of Brushy Creek intervened, and Auburn offered him a chance to make a career out of what he really loved—fishing. Once he went to Auburn and realized they offered a degree in fisheries and pond management, the forestry school plans went out the window. So did the nice job working outdoors in some of the prettiest pine timber imaginable: After the mill bosses realized he’d gone into fisheries, my father was reassigned to a sweltering green chain in the bowels of the mill in Chapman for his summer job. My grandparents also had to endure ribbing from the locals who’d say they thought Wayne already knew how to fish upon learning he had changed his major from forestry. Daddy went on to an amazing career in fisheries, worked for Auburn University from 1959 to 1994, helped build the Southern U.S. catfish farming industry and traveled to more than 100 countries spreading the aquaculture gospel. But he never lost sight of the land and its people and how they interacted and influence each other. Steeped in America’s postwar can-do approach, he was well educated in agricultural inputs and outputs, and even more well versed in the circle of life. But he would also do things like tell me one morning, when we were squirrel hunting in a magical place in northwest Butler County where soil types converge along the ancient Cambrian Ridge and create amazing geography and ecosystems, that “One day they’re going to clear-cut this place, and I’m gonna cry.” When you’re six or seven years old and the most powerful person in your world says something like that, 4

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

you sit up and take notice. Of course, Daddy was no preservationist, but had a deep appreciation for the Creation and the sublime, of beauty and utility sometimes in opposition, and sometimes bound together. In the early 1970s his father-in-law bought a “pretend farm” near Greenville, Ala. for when he retired a decade later, a place to relax and putter around with a truck farm garden and fruit tree orchard. (He wasn’t much of a true truck farmer since he ended up giving most of the produce away to friends and neighbors.) Meanwhile, Daddy was in hog heaven. He built a pond that’s still delivering fish and fun almost 50 years later. After convincing my grandfather no crops would grow on the sandy top of a large legacy field, he planted a couple acres of pines that are now 30+ years old and need harvesting. He helped coordinate getting the property logged and replanted. He planted wildlife mast trees around the property, and he mightily fought the kudzu that always festered in the railroad bed along one side of the property.

My mother’s side of the family were sawmill and logging camp people. While Daddy came from a family of agrarians and buttoned down farmers, my mother’s side of the family were sawmill and logging camp people. Daddy used to tease Mama and call her a “city girl” because her family lived for a while in a little house on the north end of the Chapman mill town along the railroad tracks near the Rocky Creek bridge. Better to be upstream and upwind in those days, my grandfather used to say. I have a great grandfather who worked in the W.T. Smith moulding shop and still have some of the cutters he designed. My grandfather worked logging camps in the 1930s, and a legendary family story is how my grandmother—simply the strongest woman I’ve ever known—drove her sedan into the middle of a logging camp in Mississippi and told my grandfather if he didn’t get in now and go back with her he wouldn’t have anything to come back to.

Back in Butler County, my grandfather went to work for Rocky Creek Logging Co., eventually rising to roads supervisor. In the era before the deer leases tied up seemingly every square foot of timberland, he had access to the best hunting spots imaginable. He also drove like a bat out of hell on those Butler County dirt roads shuttling between crews and job sites. For a while when I was in high school, the setting was idyllic: one set of grandparents in the little Brushy Creek farmhouse where my father was born, the others living 20 miles away in Greenville with the “farm” outside town. We had a couple of trailers out there by the pond and while it was very down-home, it felt—and still feels— like our own private Lake Martin. Even though the pond and trees and even one trailer are still there, most of the people are gone. As my father said on one of his last trips to Butler County before he died in May 2021, it’s turned back into a wild place now. My mother followed my father and died a month ago in mid December, and while I’m definitely looking for a better 2022 than last year, I’m also looking for more. The little farmhouse on the road that dead ends at the Coastal’s Chapman plywood plant log yard is still there, passed to some cousins years ago but I’m welcome to visit and stay any time. I spend a lot of time at the little “farm” outside of Greenville, which has passed to my brother and I. Keeping the fields bushogged, the back of the pond dam clear, pretending to deer hunt—though my son does kill a few nice ones. The land echoes with memories, people and events, and I can see the footprints, efforts of those I treasure who came before me, who put their mark on the land. At times I can feel the land and memories literally hold me. So I look out at the pond and the pines and I worry about the bass overcrowding, the beavers pushing water into some of our timber or a wind event turning our little 25 acres of pretty pine trees into rotting downfall. It’s all on me and my brother now, and my children and their families as we seek to build a future that continues to honor TH our beginnings. TIMBER HARVESTING & FOREST OPERATIONS

NewsLines ALC Seeks Additional PATHH Funding The need and success of the Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers (PATHH) was demonstrated by more than 5,600 applications representing eligibility for $385 million in aid, according to American Loggers Council. Unfortunately, this figure is nearly double the $200 million appropriated for the program. As a result, the Farm Service Agency had to implement an assistance formula modification which resulted in reduced financial assistance ranging from 10%57% compared to initial estimates. This adjustment was a necessary action to ensure that all eligible applicants received some level of assistance. American Loggers Council anticipated this might be the case based on multiple economic impact studies conducted by ALC and the U.S. Forest Service, which indicated that COVID19 induced negative economic impact to the timber industry exceeding $1 billion. Upon this final determination the ALC traveled to Washington, DC and met with key Congressional Appropriations Committee members and expressed a need for supplemental funding to ensure full assistance is provided to the timber industry as originally intended. This information and message was also conveyed to the White House. ALC Executive Director Scott Dane, in a letter to Congress, while noting the success of PATHH, also pointed out that due to the adjustments “in many cases the amount of financial assistance was reduced to less than half of what the applicant would have been eligible for. As an example, an applicant that would have been eligible, based on their gross income loss multiplied by 80% (original formula), for $180,000 would have been limited to the maximum of $125,000.” Dane noted that the new formula, due to the excess request for assistance, limits the maximum to $75,000 and then applies a multiplier of 70.5% to that figure resulting in a maximum limit of $52,875. This is 42% of the original formula assistance level. Additionally, where the original assistance formula would have provided 6

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

for 80% of the gross revenue loss, the new formula only provides 70.5% of the gross revenue loss. “This level of need is evidence of the economic impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the American timber industry,” Dane stated. “Multiple economic analysis reports indicated that the economic loss exceeded $1 billion. Now that the real economic need has been verified, and to meet the intent of Congress in providing adequate assistance to this vital industrial sector, a supplemental appropriation of $185 million (as per Farm Service Agency data) needs to be appropriated.” Dane pointed out that additional supplemental appropriations have been provided for other disaster and assistance programs when the demand exceeded the initial funding appropriation. “The American Loggers Council, and the timber industry that we represent, is extremely appreciative of the PATHH program assistance. The program’s success has exceeded expectations and has received bi-partisan support in both the Senate and House, as well as Administration support. Unfortunately, the success of the program has also revealed the extent of economic impact, loss and need within the timber industry sector. Therefore, the American Loggers Council respectfully requests an additional supplemental appropriation of $185 million.”

FS SD Proposal Doesn’t Cut It A Forest Service (FS) proposal to reduce timber harvests on the Black Hills National Forest is putting several hundred jobs at risk including the region’s largest sawmill at Spearfish, SD. Officials with the FS say 20 years of wildfires and beetle infestations have reduced timber inventories, requiring a cut in annual timber sales by anywhere from 35-50% to maintain sustainability. Meanwhile, officials with Spearfish Forest Products, owned by Neiman Enterprises in Hulett, Wyo., which operates mills there and in Montrose, Colo. and Gilchrist, Ore. in addition to Spearfish, say such a reduction threatens the Spearfish operations and the woods and community jobs that go

along with it. Neiman had already closed a mill at Hill City, SD earlier in 2021 due to lack of log supply.

SWPA Names Beardsley New Executive Director Southeastern Wood Producers Assn. (SWPA), a non-profit organization founded by loggers with a mission to represent and support professional timber harvesting businesses in Georgia and Florida, named Michael Beardsley as Executive Director, responsible for leading all aspects of the association and reporting to the executive board of directors. Jerry Gray, vice-president of SWPA, says, “We are very excited to have Michael as our new Executive Director. I look forward to working with him as we lead our organization forward.” Prior to joining SWPA, Beardsley served as vice president for Business Development for Paragon Insurance Holdings’ North American Timber, Precision Manufacturing, Landscape & Arborist, Pest Control, Equipment Rental and Work Comp programs in the eastern half of the U.S. Beardsley also served as senior policy advisor for Natural Resources for Maine Governor Paul LePage, as a member of the U.S Dept. of Energy & Dept. of Agriculture’s Biomass Research and Development (BR&D) Technical Advisory Committee, and as the national director of marketing and sales for Santee Risk Managers, providing insurance products to logging contractors nationwide. He also served as the executive director of the Professional Logging Contractors of Maine. “I am excited and honored to have been selected by the Southeastern Wood Producers Association’s board of directors for the opportunity to lead this dynamic organization and serves its more than 700 members,” Beardsley says. “Since 1990, SWPA has been the leading voice for logging companies in Georgia and Florida. The SWPA’s primary objective is to protect the interests and stability of reputable harvesting-transport companies and to support proactive positions on issues that affect the forest products industry in Florida, Georgia and nationally and I look forward to building upon this legacy with SWPA’s board of directors, our members, and our staff.” TIMBER HARVESTING & FOREST OPERATIONS

NewsLines Oregon Honors Top Forest Operators

Silbernagel helped landowners and communities with fire recovery.

During an early January ceremony, the Oregon State Board of Forestry honored recipients of its 2021 Forest Operators of the Year awards. This year’s winners are: NW Region—Aaron Silbernagel, All-Around Logging, Stayton, Ore.; SW Region—Wally Plikat, Plikat Logging, Winston, Ore.; and East Region—Tony Hauth, H Timber Contracting, Hines, Ore. ● All-Around Logging was cited for its work in helping landowners recover from disastrous wildfires in fall 2020. Silbernagel helped landowners assess what timber could be salvaged after the fire, worked not only to harvest burned trees but also to find mills that would take the scorched logs. He also helped source native seedlings for replanting projects in the area. ● Plikat Logging’s work on a tough tract in Douglas County that bordered a busy state highway and had two different utility powerlines running through it as well as a fish-bearing stream and wetlands helped win the award. Plikat also scheduled some logging activities at night to avoid traffic delays. The crews felled parallel to the stream and chose klandings carefully to protect the area. ● Hauth’s innovative work with log handling and crossings to protect a sensitive stream won his company the award. Hauth had to install two temporary crossings by placing a 36 in. high culvert and covering it with logs. Timber from the east side of the stream was felled and then passed by a mechanical arm across the stream to minimize any impact to the stream or vegetation along it. ODF Regional Forest Practices committees select the operators of the year and associated merit award recipients from among nominees sent in by landowners, ODF staff and others. The award recognizes forest operators who, while harvesting timber or doing other forestry work, protect natural resources at a level that goes above and beyond requirements of the Oregon Forest Practices Act. That law requires people to manage forests responsibly and protect streams and water quality, protect and enhance habitat, and reduce landslide risks. The law also requires landowners to replant forests after harvesting. Foremost Authority For Professional Loggers

NewsLines Ida Storm Recovery Needs Loggers, Markets

Hurricane salvage: dangerous and inefficient

Despite more than 4.9 million tons of pine and 67.5 million tons of hardwood timber destroyed over more than 160,000 acres for an impact of $300 million, landowners in southeast Louisiana are struggling to recover from Hurricane Ida that came ashore late August 2021 and caused extensive property damage and flooding. Recovery is difficult for several reasons: lack of manufacturing facilities in the area that can accept salvage wood is a big obstacle— and that’s if landowners can even find a logging contractor to do the work. Mak-

ing matters worse is much of the most damaged areas are characterized by multiple small landowners (as opposed too more industrial timberland in northwest Loiuisiana, for example). According to a report by Louisiana Forest Assn.’s Jeff Zeringue, this area of the state has about a third of the logging capacity that it did before Katrina in 2005. Logging storm-damaged wood is also hazardous and requires tracked cutters with pivoting processor heads—not the standard south Louisiana logging setup. Production is also much lower even with the right equipment. One landowner in the report says he will be lucky to salvage 15% of the timber damaged on his land.

Enviva Converts, Continues Expanding Packed into an announcement that Enviva has converted from a limited partnership Enviva Partners to a corporation called Enviva Inc. was news that projects are ongoing at 15 pellet plants and related facilities.

Enviva Inc. is the world’s largest producer of industrial wood pellets, operating 10 plants with production capacity of 6.2 million metric tons annually in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. Here’s a run-down on some of the activities that can boost wood demand: The pellet plant at Lucedale, Miss. is nearing completion, and the new Epes, Ala. plant—the world’s largest when it goes into production next year—is beginning construction. An expansion at the Northampton, NC pellet plant is complete and an expansion at the Southampton, Va. plant continues its commissioning ramp. Construction on the existing Greenwood, SC plant expansion is also nearing completion.

Teal Jones Plans New La. Sawmill Teal Jones Group owners Tom and Dick Jones announced that the company is evaluating Bossier Parish, La. to build a $110.5 million southern yellow pine sawmill. The sawmill would

NewsLines support 125 direct jobs. Teal Jones reports it has secured through its partners major sawmill, planer, kiln drying and ancillary equipment required for the project, ensuring that the mill in Bossier Parish can be built on time and within the specified budget. The company plans to locate the greenfield facility on 235 acres in Plain Dealing in Bossier Parish, which features easy access to rail. The facility will be ideally located in close proximity to transportation and railway infrastructure, as well as to timberlands. Teal Jones expects to source southern yellow pine timber from their landowner partners in this project, as well as other regional suppliers. In addition to lumber, the company plans to sell residual fiber products, including chips and sawdust, to local pulp and pellet plants.

allow only a proportion of trees to be cut in a specific area, and sets quotas capping the harvest. Quotas are given out as credits that then accompany the wood as it is sold and resold, certifying its legal origins until it is made into a “finished product” like furniture or flooring. Brazilian agents say companies were selling the credits without the wood. Buyers would then attach the

woodless credits to illegally sourced wood with origins such as protected nature reserves or tribal lands. Officials say the enforcement action is significant since it showed how illegally cut Amazon wood is inserted into legal timber supply chains, using shell companies and faking shipments, and it also revealed many of the people hiding behind or doing business with the shell companies.

ALC-Idaho Sponsoring Truck Driving Simulator After a unanimous vote late last year, Associated Logging Contractors-Idaho is moving to become a sponsor of the Idaho Trucking Assn.’s driver training simulator system. The Idaho loggers group supports the effort to introduce more young people in the state to truck driving as a career opportunity. The goal is to visit at least 20 schools a year, according to officials working with the project. Still in its early stages, the project has hired a retired safety administrator from a major Idaho trucking company to head it up and is looking for volunteers and additional funding as well. Officials with the ITA say similar programs have been successful in the past, and having a simulator provides hands-on learning compared to standard career day sessions where students are just told about opportunities.

Brazil Cracks Down On Illegal Logging Brazilian officials in late December shut down scams involving hundreds of companies allegedly covering up illegal logging in the Amazon rainforest. Agents claim more than 200 companies and 21 logging companies were involved in various schemes disguising the origin of illegal wood, according to news reports. In Brazil forestry officials hand out a limited number of concessions that Foremost Authority For Professional Loggers

Industry Leader Allen Bedell Memorialized In Arkansas Allen Bedell, the Arkansas forest activist who worked tirelessly to advance the industry through many channels at local, state and national levels, was honored at a memorial service on January 8 at the First United Methodist Church in Hot Springs. Bedell, 83, died on January 3 at a local hospital. According to his family, he had suffered from congestive heart failure for several months. Competitive, forward thinking, constructive, positive, determined, influential, diplomatic, compassionate and more, Bedell made many friends and built numerous relationships that coalesced in a rich legacy of leadership, integrity and respect. He was among a group of core loggers who formed the Arkansas Timber Producers Assn. (ATPA) in 1991 and who interviewed that group’s first and only Executive Director, Larry Boccarossa, who issued this statement: “Over the years I developed a very special relationship with Allen. I leaned on him on many occasions, seeking his guidance on issues affecting the association. The logging and timber producing industry has lost one of its best representatives.” A native of Louisiana, Bedell earned an undergraduate degree in forestry at LSU and later earned a Master of Forestry degree at Yale. In 1960 he began his career with Fordyce Lumber Co., Fordyce, Ark., acquired by G-P in 1965. Bedell settled into what he thought would be a lifetime career with G-P, but in a few years decided to exit the corporate world. In 1973 he turned to logging, leaning on the advice of several local veterans as he nursed and slowly developed his organization, which eventually became known as Circle B Logging, Inc. Energetic and able to see the big picture, he changed and adapted, over time converting Circle B to chipping, and later adding a second chipping entity, QSDC, Inc. In the ‘80s Bedell became active in the Arkansas Forestry Assn., serving in various capacities and eventually becoming president, during which time he was instrumental in AFA’s adopting the national Log-A-Load for Kids program, which has generated more than $10 million for the state’s children’s hospital. He networked to help secure 10

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

funding through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) for landowner education training, which led to the formation of the nationally recognized Ark Pro Logger program. He served on the AFA executive committee for 31 years and was named AFA’s Outstanding Logger in 1989 and 1994. He supported SFI early-on and helped mold its logger training component, going on to serve on the SFI board from 1995-2001. The Bedell family’s logging/chipping interests were honored as Timber Harvesting magazine’s inaugural Logging Business of the Year in 1998. Here is part of what TH Co-Publisher DK Knight wrote about Bedell that October: “Allen Bedell, the driven risk taker, the guy who probably had no future in the big corporate world, has come far. He started at the bottom of the mountain and conquered it through determination, unbridled energy, intelligence, innovation, optimism and preparation. Appropriately, he gives much of the credit to a group of talented, dedicated employees and a loving, supportive family.” Over time, Bedell became active in the American Pulpwood Assn., forerunner to FRA, serving on various committees before becoming Chairman for 2003-2004. He was the first logging business principal to serve in

this capacity, a notable accomplishment itself, considering that the organization was/is dominated by wood consumers, not suppliers. According to former FRA President Richard Lewis, Bedell’s leadership led to FRA’s implementing a program designed to help improve relationships between wood suppliers and consumers. Bedell is also credited with helping develop the ATPA/FRA In-Woods Expo, a live logging equipment demo that debuted in 2004. Profits from this three-time event helped strengthen the financial status of both organizations. Bedell retired in 2006. He served on the Arkansas Forestry Commission for nine years, three as Chairman. He also served on the Arkansas Agriculture Board and in 2017 was inducted into the Arkansas Agriculture Hall of Fame. Apart from work and industry activities, he enjoyed his family, golf, horse racing, the Dallas Cowboys and LSU Tigers. He was a lifetime member of the United Methodist Church. Survivors include his widow, Lou—they were married for many decades—one daughter, one son, three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and two brothers. The family requests that memorials be made to Arkansas Children’s Hospital through Log-A-Load for Kids, 1 Children’s Way, Slot 661, Little Rock, AR 72202; or to First United Methodist Church, 1100 Central Ave., Hot Springs, AR 71901.

Oregon’s Wil Heath Dies At Age 93 It can be tough to be the face of logging in America, but Oregon logger Wil Heath pulled it off with class and his trademark good nature when he posed with a spotted owl on his shoulder for the January 1991 cover of Life magazine. He was quoted in an article titled ”Endangered Species: An Owl and a Logger Symbolize the Nation's Tough Choice–Jobs or the Environment?” that showed both loggers and owls were endangered each in their own way. Heath, a lifelong resident of Cottage Grove, Ore., died No. 12, 2021 at the age of 93. He grew up in his family’s business, Heath Logging Co., and eventually took it over before he retired in 1999. Heath studied forest engineering at Oregon State University and served on a surveying team in Korea during the Korean War before rejoining family logging company in 1953. A steadfast industry supporter, Heath was a two-time president and longtime board member with Associated Oregon Loggers and was AOL’s Logger of the Year in 1985. He was president of the 56th Oregon Logging Conference and a board member for that organization as well. Heath was married 66 years to his high school sweetheart Catherine Getty. With his trademark humor Heath claimed the Life magazine photo was his only “claim to fame,” but in a later news article said he was tremendously proud of being chosen to do it.

Diverse Work Yields Opportunity for WyEast Timber Company covers all landowner types—and produces more than just logs. DANShell

eizing opportunity with an eye toward diversity, WyEast Timber Services has found success in operations ranging from cable logging to firewood production and everything in between. Under owner Paul Jones, the operation includes Neal Creek Forest Products for mulch and bark and firewood production; and Middle Mountain Trucking that operates four log hauling trucks and three lowboys. The company’s offices on the south side of Hood River include a firewood and bark and mulch yard and large shop. Neal Creek produces bark and firewood at the site, and also offers rock and soil products as well. In addition, Neal Creek operates a pole log sort yard on site for Bell Lumber. And if that’s not enough diversification, the company has been producing some clear slabs, custom

beams and even flower planter kits with a set of Wood-Mizer and Peterson sawmills. Using timber purchases through small landowners and stewardship contracts instead of just contract logging, WyEast looks to control more if its product and channel it to higher value uses. For example, “We’re fortunate to have the yard here to help with merchandising,” Jones says, noting that pulpwood logs can be upgraded into higher value bark and mulch and firewood products. Operating a logging company that also works wildfires, a trucking company, a firewood and fiber yard and log sort yard leads to a wider range of business opportunities, Jones says, and having the infrastructure in place enables WyEast Timber Services to take advantage of opportunity on its own terms.

Background Some 20 years ago, Jones had operated a small logging company near Sonora, Calif. for several years, but the operation went under. Looking for a change, he spent some time in the ski industry, in ski resort management and operations. The work, that included managing people, grounds and vendors and contracts, was a big learning experience and eye opener in running a business. Jones was working at two different ski facilities on Oregon’s Mt. Hood, when a 2012 ice storm hammered the local community. He started out helping some local landowners clean up their properties with a saw and rented dozer—and soon he had contracted with a self-loading truck and then bought a well-used Cat 518 skidder. The business has grown from there.

Paul Jones Looking to “move the needle” on landowner perception of timber harvesting activities, Jones has a crew that specializes in small and sensitive private timber tracts.

Equipment WyEast Timber Services operates three logging crews under the WyEast Timber Services banner: a cable side, another side that focuses on small private landowners and a third side that works primarily on commercial timberlands and Forest Service and other public timber jobs. The company runs mostly Link-Belt and Tigercat equipment, working with Triad Machinery out of Portland in a good business relationship, Jones says. “They’ve come through and helped us.” The cable logging crew was running a larger yarder that Jones sold in 2020 and replaced with a smaller Skylead yarder. However, he’s currently seeking to replace that machine with a yoader that provides more flexibility with fewer labor requirements. WyEast operates three processor machines, Link-Belt 240 and 4040 carriers and a Tigercat 822. All run with Waratah 623 heads. Skidders include two Tigercat 620s, a Cat 525, Cat 517 hi-track and the venerable Cat 518 bought 10 years ago kept as a spare. Feller-bunchers are Tigercat 830 and 855 self-levelling machines. Jones says most of the ground he works isn’t as steep as west of the Cascades. “Tethering isn’t as critical to logging in our area,” he says, noting that he sees the larger 855 as able to handle the steeper slopes he encounters. Loaders are a Link-Belt 3740 and Komatsu 200. WyEast also operates a Doosan 200, Link-Belt 240 and Case 9030 as shovel machines. Jones says, “Over the course of the years, it comes down to service, and I commend Triad. When we’ve had an Foremost Authority For Professional Loggers

equipment issue, they have stood by the machines and worked with us.” The company has a large shop and service area with extensive parts inventory and one of the cleanest floors in a logging shop that TH has ever seen. “We’re constantly working to keep our equipment in tip top shape,” Jones says, adding that such expensive assets must be treated right. “We keep everything at factory specs, we have detailed service records and we also keep track of how the equipment is treated,” Jones says, noting that operators with a track record of equipment abuse either make corrective changes or don’t last long.

Operations WyEast Timber Services produces 20-25MMBF annually. Of that, about 10-15MMBF is from timber that WyEast buys or harvests from its own lands. Jones recently hired a procurement forester to handle the public timber sales and projects. Even if he ends

up not bidding, Jones says his goal is to try and scope out every timber sale within a 60 mile radius in both Oregon and Washington. The crews handle a wide variety of jobs on small private, industrial private and public timber ownerships. Many of the jobs range from “soft to super soft” when it comes to meeting landowner requirements to minimize impacts, Jones says. “We’ve got a great crew that can handle all types” of forest operations,” he adds. Jones says that with the small non-industrial landowners he emphasizes to his crews to go the extra mile in ground and residual stand protection and cleanup. “We’re really trying to move the needle on landowner perception,” by doing a good job and leaving satisfied customers, he adds. The company has been awarded several Forest Service (FS) stewardship contracts that included logging, PCT, fuels reduction and wildlife and hazard tree work. WyEast also does a good bit of work contracting with the FS and state for wildland JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

they are it’s important to get the best operator possible and also to match the machine with the right person. “I’m always getting feedback and using their input on equipment decisions,” Jones says. He’s excited about having a group of younger operators to go along with some older industry veterans among his crews. In fact, he puts the average age among the logging crews in the early 30s. Considering the increasingly technical nature of equipment, “The younger generation has impressed me with their abilities,” Jones says, adding that they’ve grown up with phones and touch screens in their hands. “Operating equipment and adapting to sophisticated machinery seems to come real easy for them.” Jones says he’s also worked to have the crew mostly cross-trained for more flexibility. “Every member of the crew can run multiple pieces of equipment,” Jones says, adding that he tends to start operators out on skidders or dozers. “That’s been a really successful thing for us.” The logger adds that “I can’t emphasize how great the crew is and the guys working for me and it’s been great to see them develop over the years.” WyEast Timber Services is a member of Associated Oregon Loggers, and uses AOL for the company’s safety program and safety audits. “I think they’ve also done a good job working to move the needle politically on some really big issues, like a timber tax, carbon tax that have come up, and I give them credit for working on it.” Jones stays involved and promotes the industry by serving on the Oregon Dept. of Forestry Rules Committee, and the Hood River County forest advisory committee. In 2013, WyEast Timber Services received a Merit Award from the Oregon Dept. of Forestry’s Forest Operator Awards program that each year recognizes timber companies that show outstanding, innovative, proactive forestry management practices. WyEast was cited for its exemplary and quality work around streams, roads, homes, power lines, and railroads. The company’s fire-suppression work was also recognized, specifically WyEast’s work on the Government Flats fire, and noted for the company’s ability to balance the needs of small landowners and still TH protect natural resources.

CLT Logging Adapts To Many Changes Equipment, regulations and increasingly drought conditions impact daily operations. DANShell MONTAGUE, Calif. oining the logging industry a quarter-century ago, Tristan Allen saw the end of the region’s traditional “Cat” and cable logging era using skidders, dozers and hand fallers to handle northern California’s tough terrain as logging evolved into mechanized falling and grapple skidding and processing for areas that didn’t require yarder cable systems. But the changes

and challenges brought on by the move to mechanization are nothing compared to the operational changes he’s seeing now as the industry grapples with prolonged drought conditions in the region he works from just south of the Oregon line down to the Redding area. Allen’s company, CLT Logging, is one of the top ground-based harvesters in the area, a primary contractor for Timber Products Co.’s Yreka veneer

plant and Roseburg’s Weed veneer plant timberlands and also for major lumber producer Sierra Pacific Industries. Running up to four logging crews and two chipping sides, the company averages roughly 50MMBF annually in production. Complementing the outfit is Chuck L Transportation, which handles much of CLT’s log and chip hauling and frequent equipment moves. While equipment and markets change, the biggest external impact on CLT Logging (and other contractors in the region) currently is the extended drought conditions that are increasingly shifting downtime from the traditional late winter-spring thaw to the warm weather months, with fire concerns and restrictions showing up seemingly a little earlier every year. The trend cuts both ways: While years ago winter was a months-long shutdown, fire issues can be mitigated by starting and quitting early, moving to more favorable sites, etc. Then again, wet and snowy winters generally don’t ruin billions of board feet of timber and threaten lives and property like fire can. One of the biggest impacts fire and drought has on operations is shifting plans driven by weather conditions, mainly humidity and wind. Crews have on-site weather monitors, and Allen says he has several weather apps on his phone to keep track of changing conditions. During times of fire danger, one crew may start out working a full day only to see it cut short, while one may use rubber tire machinery to work longer in the brush because tracked machines can cause sparks in rocky areas. On some sites the crew can load and haul but no brush work. The changes can be endless and require lots of coordination and moving. “Our guys call it playing the chess board,” Allen says. “They joke about who’s the pawn today, who’s getting moved and where?”

1/19/22 1:30 PM

Yet another impact of fire and drought is contract trucking. Major time-sensitive salvage operations as a result of other fires in northern California are drawing excess hauling capacity with steady work and higher rates. This leaves loggers like Allen and others looking to make do with what they have and what they can find. Thanks to several pieces of spare equipment, CLT Logging has been able to leave loaders behind with decked logs for loading and hauling later.

Background A northern California native who grew up in the Yreka-Montague area, Allen played some football and graduated with an animal science degree from UC-Davis. After working a few years in the Sacramento area, he got a call from a logger near home who’d known him since he was a youngster. Allen joined the company in 1997 as the logger was making the transition from tractor-cable logging to mechanized operations. Allen ended up acquiring the whole operation by 2003, including the Chuck L Transportation trucking side that he still operates. He bought a used Morbark chipper early on, then a new Morbark in 2008 and another in 2018. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, CLT Logging had three new machines on order and was gearing up for a full-speed logging season after a mild winter. Then a rep from top customer Sierra-Pacific Industries called and told him to take two weeks off. “I said ‘What? I’ve got payments, lots of ‘em,’” Allen remembers. Despite the economic impacts around the country he had heard the stimulus money would help lumber

markets. “I thought there’s no way Home Depot and Lowe’s can keep us alive, but within a month we were busier than ever,” he exclaims.

On Site Timber Harvesting visited CLT Logging on a blistering hot summer day, with fire danger affecting all four crews and full operations ceasing by 1 p.m. Yet even under perfect logging conditions CLT Logging faces challenges working in the Timber Products’ Michigan-Cal Timber Co. timberlands, a 114,000 acre holding that’s certified under both SFI and FSC sustainability standards. The holdings serve as a major log source for Timber Product Co.’s Yreka, Calif. veneer plant. The sale visited was a big one, about 4MMBF spread across 12 square miles. “Back in the day you’d get put on the side of a mountain for the entire summer, but now we’re moving constantly, always someone on a lowboy,” Allen says. The timberlands were mostly harvested years ago, and the tracts are well-roaded. A standard setup for CLT is to fell and then skid downhill to a

roadside landing where logs are processed and decked for loading. This can take several forms, depending on ground conditions. In steeper areas, for example, tracked skidders are used, while more level ground gets rubber-tired machines—and even then some tracts have areas where a tracked skidder will work steeper ground and hand off logs to a tire machine to make the final trip to the landing. Much of the falling is handled mechanically, but CLT had seven manual fallers working at the time, handling steep ground and cutting in areas where machines aren’t allowed. Adding to the challenges are the ground conditions: “Humpty-dumpty, broken, with lots of protected areas,” Allen says. In the “bad old days” decades ago when much of the holding was originally logged, standard procedure was to fell into and skid down the draws to a bottom landing. Now, those areas are off limits—the timberlands are near key feeder creeks to the Klamath River and its endangered salmon runs. It adds up to a lot of moving and careful work even under the best environmental conditions. “I call it cookie cutter logging,” Allen says. “We put

Cleanfix Reversible Fans Mean More Uptime Few equipment applications generate as much dust, debris and dirt as timber harvesting. The strain on the cooling system of a forestry harvester or feller buncher will, at a minimum, drag down the machine’s efficiency over the course of the day. Typically, the laborious manual cleaning of a plugged radiator will only be done when absolutely required and, if and when it’s done, temporarily halts production. As the operator pushes the machine, it is possibly overheating and most certainly losing productivity. Powered hydraulically or pneumatically, reversible fans offer a viable option for many makes, models and types of heavy 32

Southern Dealers Bring Out CTL

n October 22 and 23, 2021, Knight Forestry from Georgia, Equipment Linc from Alabama and Ponsse North America, Inc., joined forces to host a cut-to-length (CTL) live demo on Coastal Plywood land in Havana, Fla. Spectators came to the demo from all around the Southern U.S. to watch the efficient team of a Ponsse Ergo harvester and Ponsse Elephant forwarder operate on rolling hills. Also highlighted was a Barko 495 loader with a Ponsse H8 HD harvester processing head with a top saw. The Posse machines rolled with Olofsfors track systems. This was not the first CTL demo in 2021 that the team has organized. The same group also hosted a demo in February in southern Alabama. For Jason Knight with Knight Forestry, the October demo was a huge success—and helped in the sale of nearly 10 machines to the area over the year 2021. He credits the great turnout to the positive experiences many loggers had with CTL machines after the devastation that Hurricane Michael left.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

He does concede there were a few loggers who were skeptical, but still turned out to see what the machines could really handle in the wet and relatively flat lands where Georgia, Alabama and Florida come together. “Michael was the flash point—it looked like a dinosaur nest out there. Our area, especially Gulf County, is really wet. And you could get production with the Ponsse machines after the hurricane you couldn’t get with a three-man job.” Now, the region’s mills are low on wood and pricing is strong for all sorts. Knight knows that isn’t how it is for most of the U.S. South, but for his loggers that have been able to literally weather the storms of the last few years, they are now enjoying a now highly competitive mill market, where prices are going nuts. “GP building their new sawmill in Albany, Ga. changed our world,” he adds. “Thanks to the competition from them now, a lot of mills are paying more and our loggers are really healthy. Knight Forestry had our best year ever in 2021, between our Ponsse machines and Barkos.”

Pekka Ruuskanen, President and CEO for Ponsse North America, Inc., states, “The mentality in the South is changing from treelength to cut-tolength. CTL is the wave of the future. We are excited to have more and more machines in the South and help the loggers through the transition. It is a big leap and difficult to make the change, but we offer the best forest machines in the industry to make the transition smooth.” The CTL method allows significantly more logs and chip-n-saws to be produced in initial thinning than the treelength method. This is because the harvester optimizes each trunk accurately before cutting it. Therefore, visual estimation is not used for cutting the trunk. Additionally, when using the cut-tolength method, even a small amount of special wood can be separated and transported cost-effectively to the mill. Examples of this include different log qualities, veneer logs and poles. Due to this, the CTL method enables better volume and value yield because the TH whole tree is utilized effectively.

InnovationWay Operator Enhancements

John Deere has introduced options and updates to its M-Series tracked feller-bunchers, harvesters and shovel logger. Enhancements have been made to the Smooth Boom Control (SBC), as well as improved seat and heated-ventilated seat and premium radio that is XM ready. Updated SBC improves the amount of pressure needed to operate a function, giving the operator more feel and control of the movement, especially during fine metering. This allows for a wider tuning range for individual functions and improves the setup for multiple operator preferences and skill levels. “A machine’s ability to adapt to any operator using equipment for extended periods is vital to productivity,” says Jim O’Halloran, product marketing manager. The new dual density foam seat provides more support and comfort during operation. With improved seat

cushioning, built-in contoured lumbar and thigh support and additional clearance for their thighs, all sizes of operators can feel comfortable in any desired seating position. Additionally, John Deere has added adjustable suspension dampers to reduce vibration and provide more variable dampening. Lastly, for improved overall comfort, a heated and ventilated seat option has been made available. All seat configurations come with either a standard wide lap belt, or optional four-point harness. Visit deere.com/en/forestry/

Ponsse King Forwarder

The Ponsse Elephant King forwarder is the most powerful machine in the company’s forwarder range, offering a superior level of comfort, economy and efficiency when transport distances are long and transported trees are large. “Elephant King’s technology, tested in extreme conditions in the Russian

cold and the Brazilian heat, improves productivity and helps the operator keep going. This forwarder’s cabin offers an enjoyable work environment for professionals who appreciate comfort, safety and ergonomics. The powerful engine and the 20-tonne load carrying capacity guarantee that trees are transported efficiently,” says Juha Haverinen, Product Manager, Forwarders. When Elephant King is equipped with Ponsse Active Crane, a loader control system for forwarders, productivity in demanding conditions will improve even further. With the Active Crane system, the operator controls grapple movements instead of individual functions, lightening the operator’s workload. Active Crane is easily controlled using two levers, one of which controls the grapple height from the ground and the other controls the direction of movement. The Elephant King with the K121 loader is the most powerful combination at worksites where load handling takes up a large part of working hours. The K121 loader also makes working easier at sites where large trees are handled and on steep slopes where the loader needs to be powerful. The high slewing and lifting power, longer reach, new loader geometry and good controllability speed up loading and unloading. Visit ponsse.com.

We just have the privilege of representing and working for you. Sometimes people Dane and organizations lose sight of who works for whom, and the tail begins to wag the dog. American Loggers Council will never wag the dog.

The success of American Loggers Council is only because of the collective representation that each of our members—state association members, associate members and individual logger members—provides. None of our success would be possible without the membership. You open doors for the American Loggers Council. Recently, while in DC the American Loggers Council wanted to meet with Congressman McCarthy (CA). The American Loggers Council contacted the Associated California Loggers, which provided contact and introduction information that secured a meeting to discuss and share the American Loggers Council legislative agenda. It was a similar situation with Congressional meetings with Mississippi, Wisconsin, Maine and others to discuss the need for additional PATHH funding. Similarly, each state association represents the timber industry in their respective state. As such, they too are “donkeys” working for their members. Their efforts are directly impacted by their membership. One of my greatest frustrations while representing 42

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022

Minnesota for 17 years was the monetary, political and resource investment made by the members of the Associated Contract Loggers and Truckers of Minnesota that resulted in millions of dollars in legislative, policy and program benefits that nonmembers fully embraced, but neglected to support. The cost of membership in your state associations is minimal compared to the proven benefits. If every stakeholder invested in their state association, even more could be accomplished. If you are one of the more than 5,000 loggers and truckers who received PATHH assistance, if you are not a member of your state association, you should be. PATHH would not have happened without the collective effort of the state timber associations. Additionally, as a member of your state association, which is a member of the American Loggers Council, you are automatically a member of American Loggers Council and eligible for all of the benefits afforded American Loggers Council members. Join American Loggers Council by joining your state association. To contact your state association, visit www.amloggers.com and click on the state membership link, scroll down and click on the respective state. Stronger Together. Scott Dane is the Executive Director of the American Loggers Council. ALC is a 501(c)(6) trade association representing the interests of timber harvesting and timber hauling businesses across the United States. For more information visit www. amloggers.com.

LEOA Graduates First Student Logger Class Mississippi’s Hinds Community College graduated its first batch of students from the new Logging Equipment Operator Academy (LEOA) in December 2021. Four students completed the 16-week workforce certificate course and received a Professional Logger Manager (PLM) qualification, OSHA-10 safety training, CPR/First Aid and TeamSafe Trucking Module 1-2.

LEOA is located at Hinds’ Raymond, Miss. campus and features a John Deere rubber-tire simulator, two wheeled feller-bunchers, two track feller-bunchers and several desktop models with joysticks for teaching students with little to no experience how to operate woods machinery. The four-month course includes classroom instruction on forestry concepts, business management specific to logging, PLM qualifications, tree identification, equipment maintenance and DOT regulations, as well as several hours of seat time on actual feller-bunchers and knuckleboom loaders. Mississippi Loggers Assn. (MLA) and Mississippi Forestry Commission partnered with Hinds Community College, Justin McDermott at John Deere, and Scott Swanson, Stribling Equipment, to bring the program to life. Of the four students who recently graduated, three have already taken jobs within the industry. David Livingston, MLA Director, says they look to expand the LEOA program to existing loggers interested in training employees to operate other pieces of heavy equipment.
