Loggers Uniquely Positioned To Lead In Countering Negative Public Perception Those who make up the forest industry acknowledge the industry has a longstanding public relations problem, but apparently few are doing much of anything today to counter the negative perception. At one time, heavyweights like IP and Weyerhaeuser took the offensive by publishing magazines and buying TV time to proclaim the forestry story, but they have retreated in recent years. Perhaps they believe web sites alone are sufficient. At any rate, consolidation has thinned the heavyweight ranks and, at the same time, none of the larger TIMOs that have emerged in the last 25 years has stepped into the yawning promotional breech. It’s true that PR campaigns can be very expensive. It’s also true they sometimes don’t work very well. And where is it written that the industry’s biggest players should shoulder most of the load? I submit that logging businesses are in a unique position to step up and effectively wave the flag. What is sorely lacking is the will to do so. You commonly see them displayed on residential lawns and at construction sites—those marketing and promotional signs that tout the services being performed inside or on site by plumbers, landscapers, dirt movers, bricklayers, and electricians, to name a few. It seems to me that professional loggers, particularly those who buy stumpage from private landowners, thin a lot, and take great pride in a job well done, should want to emulate their building trades cousins, especially when they happen to be doing their thing alongside a public road. But this is not the case. Are loggers too timid, too modest, too lazy, too ashamed, or perhaps a little of each? A friend who heads a state logging association tells that his group years ago developed a tastefully done logging/forestry promotional sign that incorporated the association’s logo, space for the harvester’s name and phone number, and this message: “Harvesting Nature’s Sustainable, Renewable Resource.” The signs got few takers. Shamefully, the only thing the office-bound signs attract today is dust.

The Basic Message As fitting as job site-based promotional tools may be, a more expansive, higher impact measure would be to tap transportation gear to deliver and reinforce the positive logging/forestry message to the masses. After all, the roadways are the public’s link to the business of growing, managing, harvesting and processing trees. It all begins with clean, well-maintained trucks, trailers and vans. Sure, it’s a challenge to keep this gear looking good but many loggers and log truckers manage to do so, despite dust, mud, and overhanging tree branches that seemingly exist only to attack shiny metal. One example is Virginian C.K. Greene, 46, a forester-turned-logger who started logging in 2007 and does business as Virginia Custom Thinning out of Dolphin. Knowing that the condition of his trucks and trailers are the face of his enterprise, and

that appearance does matter, he hires a mobile cleaning service to wash his trucks and trailers every weekend. He even has his logging equipment cleaned inside and out once a month. Says Greene: “I saw so many logging trucks that were dirty, greasy, nasty, and I said man, there’s a different way.” Here’s to C.K., and all others like him, for his/their exemplary example and commitment to making their wheels look good, and for focusing on the big picture. If only there was some way to make about 90% of those old, floppy, ugly, dirty, and repurposed rigs disappear, and to eliminate those grill wraps that make it appear that certain trucks are fitted with giant teeth and out to overrun grandma and her ’98 Buick.

Deluxe Messages There are other forestry interests, including some logging company owners, who take it to another level, investing in signage, logos and such to simultaneously promote their businesses and the positive side of the forest industry. Here are some examples: ● Marketing minded Jeff Eames owns Fort Mountain Companies of Allenstown, NH, which serves multiple log, chip and fuelwood markets. You may recall that his multifaceted organization was singled out as Timber Harvesting’s 2013 Logging Business of the Year (September-October issue). All his trucks, vans, trailers and pickups, and some harvesting machines, advertise his web site, nhforestry.com. Eames’ chip vans bear this message: “Make America Stronger Use Renewable Energy.” ● Similarly, Herman Brothers Logging & Construction, Inc., based in Port Angeles, Wash., in business since 1958 on the Olympic Peninsula, posts this educational message on the chip vans assigned to its biomass component: “Bio-Fuels for the Peninsula From Sustainable Forest Energy By the Green Collar Crew.” ● D.H. Hardwick & Sons, Inc., found near Antrim, NH, logs, chips and clears land, among other things. According to Teri Hardwick, the company for some time now has been considering using its chip vans for industry promotional purposes and is ➤ 26

NewsLines We Energies Begins Commercial Operation We Energies reported that the 50 MW woody biomass-fueled power plant on the site of Domtar Corp.’s Rothschild, Wis. paper mill was placed into commercial operation after testing and commissioning activities were successfully completed. “The addition of the biomass plant enables us to produce renewable energy on demand,” says Gale Klappa, We Energies chairman, president and CEO. “That benefit is simply not available with solar or wind generation.” More than 400 workers contributed to the construction of the biomass plant, which also will support approximately 150 permanent jobs in the region, including independent wood suppliers and haulers from northern and central Wisconsin who will secure waste wood for the project. Under Wisconsin law, utilities statewide must use renewable energy to meet 10% of the electricity needs of their retail customers by the year 2015. With the commercial operation of the Rothschild biomass plant, We Energies estimates that it now has secured enough renewable energy to remain in compliance with the state mandate through 2022. In addition, Domtar’s use of the steam produced by the plant will help improve the paper mill’s energy efficiency and reduce overall emissions at the site by more than 30%. We Energies, which is the trade name of Wisconsin Electric Power Co. and Wisconsin Gas LLC, principal utility subsidiaries of Wisconsin Power Corp., will process forest residue (tree tops and branches left after logging operations), wood manufacturing residue (shavings and sawdust from paper mills or sawmills), and clean waste wood from tree services.

Bandit Industries, Alamo Back Away From Deal Bandit Industries announced that the company will for now remain privately owned, as it has turned down a purchase offer from Alamo Group Inc. The company also stated that it will continue to explore options for a potential sale. Alamo Group reported that the proposed acquisition, which was announced on November 19, had 6

been terminated; that the transaction was subject to certain conditions and that the parties “had been unable to reach an agreement on a basis for going forward.” Bandit Industries President Jerry Morey comments, “Alamo is an exceptional company and we are very honored that they’ve shown such an interest in Bandit and our corporate culture. Ultimately, we decided the best future for Bandit and our 400 employees at this time was to remain a private company.” Bandit Industries reports that 2013 was a record sales year. The company recently completed a factory expansion of 20,000 square feet, with additional expansions already in the works. “When we first announced that we were considering offers to sell Bandit, myself, Mike Morey Sr. and Dianne Morey said that we would only sell if it was the right fit,” Jerry Morey says. “Taking care of our employees and our dealer network, continuing to support our mid-Michigan community and maintaining the Bandit legacy we built over the last 30 years, these are things we cannot put a price on.” Bandit employs 408 at its mid-Michigan headquarters, constructing nearly 50 different wood processing machines that range from small wood chippers to large wood waste recyclers, stump grinders and forestry mowers. Bandit equipment is sold through a global dealer network with more than 160 locations. Alamo Group is a leader in the design and manufacture of equipment for right-of-way maintenance and agriculture, including truck and tractor mounted mowers, street sweepers, excavators and other products.

Woody Biomass Will Be Part Of Biochemtex Mix A global technology provider of specialized biofuels and renewable chemicals, Biochemtex plans to invest $200 million to locate its new cellulosic biofuels production center in Sampson County, North Carolina. The company says it will operate in North Carolina as Carolina Cellulosic Biofuels, delivering the first commercial scale cellulosic bio-refinery utilizing purpose grown energy crops in North America. The plant is expected to produce 20 million gallons per year of cellulosic biofuel from locally

grown energy crops, agricultural residues, and woody biomass. The project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $300,000. Other partners that helped with this project include the NC Department of Commerce, NC Community Colleges, Sampson County Economic Development Corporation, Sampson County, City of Clinton, NC, Dept. of Agriculture, NCSU – NC Cooperative Extension and the Biofuels Center of North Carolina. Members of NC Assn. of Professional Loggers assisted Chemtex with favorable comments at public hearings and also a large sample of local wood chips sent to the Chemtex plant in Italy to test ethanol production.

West Fraser Reacts To Pine Beetle Infestation West Fraser has established a Mountain Pine Beetle Plan to address the effects of the mountain pine beetle infestation in the interior of British Columbia. The infestation has killed vast portions of the interior pine forest, resulting in a continuing deterioration and loss of merchantable timber available to wood products producers in the interior of BC. The goal of the company’s MPB Plan is to ensure the viability and competitiveness of its BC operations in response to the lack of available timber supply following the beetle infestation. The three-part plan consists of the exchange of certain timber rights, which will help maintain the competitiveness of several of West Fraser’s BC interior mills, the closure of West Fraser’s Houston, BC mill and the announcement of significant investments in two major mill upgrades in Smithers and 100 Mile House, BC. The capital investment program in BC amounts to $350 million. Canfor is exchanging 382,194 m3 of replaceable forest license allowable annual cut in the Quesnel Timber Supply Area as well as 53,627 m3 of replaceable forest license allowable annual cut in the Lakes Timber Supply Area with West Fraser in exchange for receiving 324,500 m3 of replaceable forest license allowable annual cut in the Morice Timber Supply Area. The companies are also exchanging non-replaceable licenses

Hardwood Sawmill Planned For Gaffney Associated Hardwoods, Inc. plans to invest nearly $10 million and build a sawmill in Gaffney, SC. Construction is expected to begin immediately, with startup projected for spring. The family owned company currently produces remanufactured, specialty and kiln-dried lumber products at its facility in Granite Falls, NC. It’s expected that some lumber stock from the new mill will be shipped to Granite Falls for further processing. “This new location is a big step for our company and will help us better serve our customers,” says Rick Jordan, who became company president in 1998. Associated Hardwoods was formed in 1978 as a wholesale lumber company by Dick Jordan, formerly with Georgia-Pacific. In 1982, Jordan partnered with rough mill veteran Doug Holman and they added a concentration yard with kiln drying. 8

Challenges On Kodi a A-1 Timber harvests Sitka spruce for Leisnoi Native Corp.

TomWatson

laska is known as the “Last Frontier,” a state where every effort is challenged, given its very few roads and an expanse of wilderness twice the size of Texas.

Lying off the coast some 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, at the head of the Aleutian Chain, is Kodiak, a large island of even fewer roads, desolate and rugged mountainous terrain,

and the largest brown bears on earth. Kodiak Island is also the westernmost range for Sitka spruce, the largest of its species and among the largest of the world’s confiers.

A-1 Timber’s harvesting component involves numerous track-type machines that fell, shovel, process and load. Daily output can hit 30 loads.

in Kodiak. In May 2010 Loushin purchased stumpage rights to 9,000 acres of Sitka spruce and was taking down timber the following July. “The sale had to be big to mobilize an operation in Alaska,” says Loushin, “so we planned to move 25 to 30 million board feet per year.” A-1’s goal is to harvest 100MMBF by late 2014. “These trees are between 100 and 150 years old and range from 70 to 100 feet in height, with an average dbh of 30 inches,” explains Loushin. A-1’s operation involves even-age-harvesting—a term the company prefers to use to describe its clear-cutting—with regulatory setbacks. It hauls up to 30 loads (roughly 150 MBF) a day.

50,000 Acres

i ak Island For Tom Loushin, 54, Kodiak Island is a challenging place to run a timber harvesting operation. Loushin is the owner and president of A-1 Timber, based in the tiny island village of Kodiak. Together with his son, Rick, 24, they head the company’s first ever timber harvesting venture in

Alaska, and one of only three logging companies harvesting timber there.

Goal Is 100MMBF In 2009, Loushin responded to a timber prospectus developed by the Leisnoi Native Corp., headquartered

Except for a few isolated islands, the timber is located within one contiguous block of 50,000 acres. A-1 scratches out 15-20 miles of roads annually, tying them into an existing 60-mile network. Once the operation ends, about a third of the roads will be left for forest management purposes. The team pushes into each new area as harvesting progresses, laying down the roadway using gravel extracted from on-site quarries. Loushin is experienced in building stringer bridges, and has plenty of resources for support materials, so the company uses that construction technique for crossing streams and ravines. The roadbuilding component consists of Caterpillar D8 and John Deere 450 bulldozers, Link-Belt 370 and Volvo 200 excavators, and eight dump trucks of various makes and models.

Harvesting Approach Trees are felled with two track-type feller-bunchers, shoveled to roadside by eight available track-type machines, and delimbed and bucked by two processors mounted on tracktype carriers. Log lengths range from 24 to 36 feet, with a minimum sixinch top diameter. Occasionally used JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014

While the harvesting operations shipping dock or to a secondary holdare quite similar to those in the Pacific ing yard, depending on the amount of inventory at the dock—always the primary delivery point. Log handling equipment is moved between the two locations as needed. Last fall A-1 shipped its fourth load—28,000 metric tons (4.8MMBF)—to a primary customer in China. “Asia/China is our biggest market,” says Loushin. Most of the construction-grade lumber is used to make doors and picture frames. Rick and Tom Loushin take a break.

Northwest, the real challenges have come from juggling the economics of logging in the remoteness of Kodiak. While A-1 employs between 30-35, only three are Kodiak residents. All work six 10-hour days. “There is no skilled labor force in Kodiak,” says Loushin. “Manpower all comes from Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho.” Nesheim, who is a Kodiak resident, says, “With the current methods of logging, the forest products industry has fewer workers. The work force has become higher skilled. Like any skilled work force there is a certain amount of movement but for the most part it brings a significant stability.” The company owns four houses to lodge workers. At its own expense and effort, A-1 had to dredge part of the channel and the docking area to enable its contracted freighters to negotiate and moor. The dock is located in a bay that is now home to a U.S. Coast Guard base and was formerly the location of a Navy base in the 1950s. The Army Corps of Engineers had

arranged all previous dredging. Maintenance and supply costs are another burden. “We’re on an island; there are no parts and supplies, no infrastructure,” Loushin says, adding, “We have to mobilize from Seattle.” Fuel is $1 more per gallon in Kodiak than it is in Seattle. “Even oil and lube products are a third more here,” he says. Loushin’s fuel, parts and services costs are between $1.4 and $1.7 million annually. A-1’s fleet includes nine log trucks and one lowboy. Transportation is a little trickier since there is no adequate tire service on the island. The company had to build a tire shop to support trucking, adding to its expense. Directly involved in the Kodiak operations, Nesheim says that trying to coordinate everything in such a remote area is problematic. Although he is A-1’s resident professional forester, Nesheim says he often describes his job as “23 years in the logistics business.”

off-island sourcing. Seedlings are planted by hand via a contractor from Washington State for at one-third additional cost. “We get seedlings from Canada. They arrive in seven days as opposed to 10 days from the U.S.,” explains Loushin. The cost is the same but he explains that seedlings shipped by truck from Canada are not as stressed as those shipped by barge. Even though Alaska can be unrelenting in the challenges it brings to many efforts, Loushin has dealt effectively

with most on the logging and transportation fronts. He acknowledges his team has encountered some unforeseen problems but is pleased with progress to date. Still, he holds guarded optimism about the future of the timber industry in the state, noting lack of domestic markets. “We may be the last company to come to Alaska because of limited TH resources and logistics,” he says. Tom Watson is a freelance journalist based in Appleton, Minn.

Favorable Weather Even as infamous as the Alaskan climate is known to be, the weather really doesn’t offer any significant challenges since the maritime affects of the Japanese current temper weather patterns, keeping all relatively mild. “Winters are not restrictive; there are no big snow loads and temperatures average 25 to 35 degrees Farenheit throughout winter,” says Nesheim. “The weather is very conducive to timber harvesting.” Rainfall and melting snow are not significant factors on Kodiak’s roads, either. The soils on Kodiak are heavily influenced by volcanic ash and are well drained. As such they do not become muddy like soils influenced by silt and clay.

Reforestation A-1’s contract also includes reforestation responsibilities. Reforestation attempts on the island have also been a challenge. In the 1990s Leisnoi’s timber operations relied on then conventional wisdom that the prolific Sitka spruce would regenerate through natural seeding, but there was little success. Seedlings that did survive were often struck down by predators. Based on 250 seedlings per acre, A-1’s spruce reforestation program was initiated in August 2011, but at increased costs, due again to necessary Foremost Authority For Professional Loggers

Leadership Skills Fortify Treeline, Inc. Employee engagement helps make Maine company safer, more productive. WendyFarrand

here is a culture in which keen leaders strive to create an empowering work environment where ideas are honored and respected; a place where there is a sense of family; a place where people who want to thrive can reach their potential on the job; a place where responsibility is shared; one where corrections are made in private, and confidence is reinforced over and over again. This place, where fine-tuning leadership skills and building trust are just as important as carefully carrying out a harvest prescription or rigorously abiding by a machine care program, is found in the small town of Lincoln, Me., located just north of Bangor. This place—evidently a great place to work—is known as Treeline, Inc., and the man who runs the show is Brian Souers, 56. Founded in 1981 by Souers, Treeline is now a multifaceted mechanized timber harvesting company, and much more. It logs, chips, builds roads, maintains separate truck and heavy equipment shops, owns a supply store, and operates three wood yards—one of its own and two belonging to Verso Paper Corp. Through its supply store, it is also one of the largest distributors of forestry grade plastic culverts in the state. The Lincoln location, just off Interstate 95, makes Treeline (www.treelineinc.biz) a convenient source for hem-

lock skidder bridges and crane mats. The company has two service departments—one in Lincoln for trucks, another in nearby Lee for heavy equipment. As if all this were not enough, Treeline has a land division, The Maine Land Store, run by Souers’ daughter, Whitney. Born into a family of musicians and music teachers, it was assumed that Souers would follow the family tradition. As some teenagers do, he totally turned away from

his family expectations and decided to pursue a career that catered to his second love after music, the great outdoors. Souers earned an Associate’s degree from the New York State School of Forestry in 1977, a course that only intensified his fondness for the woods. He began his logging career with a skidder and a chain saw. Fast forward to the present and you find a 52-employee logging business where every “t” is crossed and every “i” is dotted, where in 2013 six mecha-

nized crews produced 20,000 tons of sawlogs, 50,000 tons of pulpwood and 45,000 tons of chips and delivered them to more than 20 markets, including some located in Canada. Souers praises his customers: “I appreciate having great customers and solid relationships that help keep us strong.” Treeline’s combined investment edges beyond $11 million; last year it spent approximately $1,676,000 in parts, repairs and supplies, not including fuel. With today’s thin margins and high operating costs, Souers realizes that empowering employees is key to success and survival. He reaches out to engage employees and foster teamwork, to maintain a sense of family, to encourage the team to buy-in to the advancement of the organization. Souers strives to fine-tune his business acumen and leadership skills. Focus, planning and lots of hard work go into running this diversified endeavor. “The days of running a business by the seat of your pants are gone,” says Souers, who is constantly planning, reading, attending seminars, and thinking of new ways to hone his leadership skills to improve employee engagement and build a stronger enterprise. At age 25 he had a sense of what he wanted to accomplish. “Right from the get-go, I always had a vision of creating something that was bigger than me,” he relates. Having diversified and expanded considerably, today Souers’ thoughts turn to the future of Treeline and what would it be should anything ever happen to him. A few years ago, he gathered his team and asked, “What do you want to do if one day you come in and I am not around?” He went on to ask if he should plan for his wife, Denise, to hold a big auction, or if employees felt they could keep the company going without him. At the time, the team wasn’t quite there yet, but the question he posed worked as an effective tool for getting the team to think and talk about succession. It also led employees to think about how to fine-tune their own lead-

ership and decision making skills. With the bar raised, Treeline’s leadership team set goals and worked on overall improvements. The Souers team has made great strides and is getting closer to the ultimate goal of being able to keep the company thriving, even if the boss isn’t around.

Leadership Team Treeline is managed by a leadership team which makes many major decisions and allows employees to be part of the bigger picture. It meets minimally once a quarter—more often if need be—to discuss issues and goals. During regular meetings issues with employees are discussed, but only after each employee is praised with a positive comment on how he/she is performing. Here are some typical upside comments from a leadership team meeting: —“Continuing to take on and learn new things…with a smile.” —“I am very proud of your determination to succeed here. You will. Everything is headed up.” —“You are learning a lot and getting very good at dealing with all

kinds of customers and dirt projects.” Recently, nine leaders came together in a special team meeting to discuss the pros and cons of investing in a new chipper. The group included Brian and Whitney Souers: Dick Slike, bookkeeper; Bob Bethune, operations manager; Dick Chesley, job foreman; and Jim Michaud, Mike Mckeen, Kevin Osnoe, and Bridge Astle, all operators/crew chiefs. Together they went over cost information prepared by Souers and discussed the outlook and options for Treeline’s biomass business, which has been growing for the last five years. Each person was asked to give individual input. After a couple more meetings and a lot of thought, the group decided the company should purchase a new chipper. Routinely, each harvesting job is discussed in terms of overall performance, including profit/loss figures.

Souers, transparency is one of the keys to strengthening employee engagement. “Educate them. Let them know when the team is making money and when the team is not. Get them involved in solutions. Let them succeed and fail,” he advises. Whitney Souers, who came back into the business after earning a degree in business, keeps tabs on job costing. She has a fine-tuned system that can create all kinds of reports. Multi-talented, she can also help out as an equipment operator when needed. One of her latest initiatives focused on needless engine idling. Her calculations showed that by reducing idling a mere 25% the company could reduce fuel costs by $50,000 a year— enough to pay for the cruise Treeline is planning for employees for 2017! An empowered employee is a more engaged employee, according to Duane Edwards, who oversees the parts and service side. He feels there is value in allowing employees to make their own decisions when appropriate. “This is one of the few companies that I’ve worked at where we have the freedom to start work when we want. Some people start at 3 o’clock, some at 6, and some at 6:30. Any place that I ever worked before, everyone had to start at 7 or whenever. I think that most of the time it works to our best interest. Truck drivers aren’t showing up in the woods at the same time that the crane operator is, and he doesn’t have a load of wood ready to go. The crane operator doesn’t necessarily show up the same time as the skidder operator does because the skidder doesn’t have any wood out on the yard for him. We have freedom of movement and that seems to work for us.” Wood yard foreman Robert Bailey, with Treeline for 10 years, praises the workplace atmosphere:” He (Souers) has succeeded in this business and he wants to see everyone else succeed. I used to work at a family-owned business and this feels 10 times more like a family than that ever did.” Souers coaches employees as if they were family, and they feel a sincere sense of caring. For example, he tries to keep everyone working during mud season, when most similar companies are typically down for a few weeks. Employees can continue to work as long as they have a project that is approved and will benefit the company. Last season employees built an addition to the garage to house snowplows. 16

Equipment Considerations egarding equipment, Souers acknowledges there was a R time when Treeline leaned heav-

ily toward a given brand but has altered course, noting that the company would buy a couple of machines and a year or so later newer models with upgrades would come out and be nothing like previous machines. He elaborates: “Equipment manufacturers and dealers all have their evolution and so you will have these periods where this particular dealer or manufacturer is really hitting on all cylinders and everything’s good, then two or three years later it’s not so good and it is just not practical.” He goes on to stress that there isn’t one manufacturer that makes all the different machines that Treeline uses. Here is a compartmentalized snapshot of the Treeline endeavor: ● Logging—24 operators, seven feller-bunchers, three pullthrough delimbers, six slideboom delimbers, 10 grapple skidders, 18 loaders, 12 slashers ● Trucking—18 drivers, 22 trucks, eight chip trailers, 18 log trailers, one loader trailer, GPS tracking system ● Chipping—three operators, three chippers, one grinder ● Truck/Trailer Shop—three technicians, one service manager, one service truck ● Heavy Equipment Maintenance Facility—four technicians, three service trucks ● Road/Site Work—three operators, four excavators, two dozers, two front end loaders, four dump trucks, one motor grader ● Wood Merchandizing Operations—three yards, one company owned, two operated for Verso, four operators, six loaders/slashers ● Supply Store—one manager ● Main Office—three employees ● Real Estate Company—The Maine Land Store TH (www.mainelandstore.com)

Truck driver Heath Libby expresses appreciation for being allowed to grow and learn new skills in his positions at Treeline since he started 10 years ago. Employees have the ability to cross train and learn new equipment. “If I decided that I wanted to run a harvester they would find a place for me,” he asserts, adding: “The best thing about any of the bosses I’ve had here is that I have never ever been told to do anything, I’ve always been asked.” Treeline is proof that a heightened sense of awareness of the importance of these skills at all levels creates a sense of loyalty and family that attracts the best in the business. At Treeline 25% of the employees have been on the job for more than 20 years, and 50% for more than 10.

Safer Work Environment Souers’ focus on employee engagement and accountability helps to create a safer work environment, one that boasts one winning streak of 865 days without a safety violation. All employees are actively involved in strengthening safety on the job. Onehour safety meetings are held once a month and shorter safety meetings are held weekly on each job site. Floyd Wilcox, Treeline’s safety chairman, and his five-member safety committee conduct safety meetings, which are open to all employees. Individuals involved in an accident or a near-miss incident must attend the session to discuss the incidents with the group. An understanding of why the accident occurred and how to avoid it in the future are discussed. When a near-miss occurs the employee involved fills out a “near-miss form” and shares what led to the incident and what could have happened. This is followed by a discussion of the incident and how it will be avoided going forward. The Souers know it is the employees who keep the company safe, so they offer a financial incentive. Employees are rewarded for practicing safe work habits and looking out for one another. There is money set aside in a “safety kitty” and it is divided among the safest employees at the end of the year. The safer employees are, the larger the kitty becomes. At a recent meeting, employees discussed changing the bonus from yearly to quarterly to magnify the importance of safety day-to-day.

Small stems and branches become wood fuel.

Team/Family Activities Souers creates lots of outside-theworkday activities that strengthen the sense of team and/or the feeling of family. “We host a lot of company events and trips. Sometimes they are afternoon cookouts or suppers. Sometimes they are three-day weekends.

One time so far it was a seven-day cruise. These are opportunities for people to relax and relate with each other without the stress of work,” he points out. The Souers open their beautiful home on Mattanawcook Lake to host work functions as a family. Denise Souers makes their home a comfort-

able place to relax. The beauty of the lake calms the employees and their families and fosters a sense of sharing and team. It works to uplift and recharge employees.

Logging Cost Indexes In Works For South, West

n a project funded by the Wood Supply Research Institute (WSRI), researchers at the University of Georgia are endeavoring to validate the UGA Logging Cost Index, built on accumulated data provided by logging companies in the South. At the same time, they are collaborating with researchers at the University of Montana to lay the groundwork for a Logging Cost Index covering the western U.S. UGA in late 2012 began reporting a quarterly Logging Cost Index through Timber-Mart South, a regional timber market resource updated quarterly. Based on data aggregated from actual operating cost information voluntarily submitted by southern-based logging companies, the index tracks cut-and-load costs over time. This more time sensitive and more useful quarterly index replaces Mississippi State University’s (MSU) annual logging cost index, which dated back to 1995 and included data reported through 2006. The UGA team calculated its quarterly index backward in time and compared results with those of the previous MSU annual index. The two tracked very closely over time, but more work is called for. (See news item, page 61.) While validating the southern data, WSRI would like to expand the methodology to other regions, beginning with the West, and perhaps eventually to the Lake States and Northeast, according to UGA’s Dr. Dale Greene. Timber Harvesting & Wood Fiber Operations is partnering with the researchers as they use an on-line survey to collect some of the data needed for these comparisons. The parties invite and encourage logging firms to participate, emphasizing that all submitted information will be treated with strict confidence.

munity and Treeline has received numerous industry recognition awards for its high standards. Treeline’s transparency and open door policy make it a favorite in Lincoln and the logging community as a whole. Jeff Benjamin, Associate Professor of Forest Operations at the University of Maine Orono, applauds Souers: “I have worked with Brian and Treeline on several projects over the last six years and they always present themselves in a professional manner. They are committed to improving their operation in

terms of quality and lower cost. Brian has always been willing to let my students visit his active harvest sites and I truly appreciate the time he and his operators give to explain details of the harvest.” What’s next for Souers and Treeline? With multiple improvements in place, he is preparing to slow down and delegate some responsibilities. A multi-skilled forester will likely be added in the near future, ideally relieving Souers in the areas of land procurement, harvest layout, management plans, etc. He/she will wear a lot of hats, just the way Souers does, and must be flexible and a good fit with the rest of the employees. In an industry where margins are shrinking, Souers has found that an engaged workforce is safer, more productive and more content. He has found that focusing on the intangible aspects of leadership is just as important as any other aspect of the business. He sums it up: “We have amazingly great people. Mostly, I thank God for bringing so many good people into our company and keeping them around while I slowly figure things out!” TH

Stewardship Opportunity Collaborative work will likely make 10-year FS contract a success in central Oregon.

DanShell

fter submitting the winning bid to the Malheur National Forest (MNF) and being awarded the contract to perform an ambitious 10year forest stewardship and ecological restoration program, Iron Triangle Logging President Russ Young called the move a great opportunity not only for his company but also for the community of John Day, Ore. Truly understanding what Young means requires understanding the John Day valley and its economy. Ten years ago in John Day and nearby Prairie City, three sawmills and a biomass

power plant were in operation. Today, only the Malheur Lumber sawmill and its new wood heating pellet plant remain. The area’s remote location— more than 100 miles from any major market for both finished products or logs and chips—has always factored into business plans for any forest products entity operating in John Day. Meanwhile, the MNF and its 500,000 acres in need of restoration through thinning, understory removal and fuel reduction, turned to Iron Triangle to execute the terms of the contract. The overall project may produce

up to 500MMBF of sawlogs and 3.5 million green tons of biomass during its life span. The stewardship project was awarded in September and picked up soon after, with crews beginning work last October on the contract’s first “task order,” a 34,000-acre tract. Activity increases this year, with three more large tracts included in a new task order, and new task orders to follow each year as projects clear federal review and environmental requirements. The projects will include a variety

of activities above and beyond traditional thinning and slash removal, says Phil Jenkins, Iron Triangle operations forester who’s worked with the company four years after working in and around the John Day area for 20 years as a consulting and mill forester. “A stewardship contract involves everything they want to do on a given tract, whether it’s thinning, piling, biomass removal or sawlog production,” says Jenkins. “There’s a lot of small material that has to be removed under terms of the contract, and that’s a big part of the challenge—finding markets for all the material.”

“Logical Choice” According to a local news report on the project, Iron Triangle was a “logical choice” for the MNF to consider when awarding the contract, given its longtime role in the local forest economy, and the best choice for the MNF to see the contract succeed. The company began in 1983, when Young’s father, Jack, bought the logging and road building assets of Hines Lumber Co. Russ joined the company in 1997; his father retired in 1999. Expansions occurred in 1995 and 2002, when Iron Triangle bought out local logging company assets that moved the operation into cut-to-length mode and also added to its hauling and log handling capacity. Iron Triangle managed an International Paper chip yard in John Day for several years in the 2000s and today manages Malheur Lumber’s log yard with its own equipment. The company also handles the sawmill’s residual hauling needs. The years of experience and working not only with MNF officials but also a wide range of forest products industry companies—mills, other loggers and subcontractors and log, lumber and chip haulers throughout central Oregon—was also a big factor in Iron Triangle’s submitting the winning bid. According to a report on the process, Iron Triangle’s bid projected how it would handle all the work required and identified how more than 90% of the workforce needed would come from companies located in Grant and Harney counties in central Oregon. At the start of 2014, Iron Triangle is working the Marshall Devine project, a 34,000-acre area expected to yield 36MMBF of sawlogs and 65,000 tons of green biomass. The job calls for a variety of activities, including pre-

commercial thinning and grapple piling. While thousands of tons of biomass will be removed; some will be traditionally piled and burned. Two subcontractors are handling this work. At the same time, Iron Triangle continues working individual logging jobs that aren’t part of the stewardship program. Counting three subcontractor crews, Iron Triangle is working six active logging jobs. In addition, the company has opened a log and fiber yard in John Day to help manage the large amount of material coming off stewardship projects.

their kids. We’re fortunate that we’ve had an abundance of work over the years and have been able to provide some good structure for our employees’ lives.” Thanks to a diversity of logging jobs and the CTL equipment, Young says the company’s effective operating season has increased from just over eight months to 10 months a year, and that can be extended a bit with employees who are willing to travel. Experience, skill and dedication are key attributes of Iron Triangle’s employees. “A lot of this company’s success has come from being able to change directions quickly, and the employees are the ones who make it happen,” Young asserts. “Many of our people are skilled at more than one thing, and we have more than a few who can go from the stump to the truck in operating equipment, and that’s huge.” In fact, Young says the company actively promotes training employees on new pieces of equipment to increase operational flexibility. Employee skill and dedication are critical to Iron Triangle’s success, especially with the company’s operations and crews spread so far apart. “They’re basically self-managed in large part,” Young says. “They get themselves out there and get going, and that’s the way a good operation should be. If you have to babysit you’re destined to fail.” Thanks to hard work and good business decisions, Iron Triangle is the last truly large contractor in central Oregon. Especially after winning the stewardship contract, “We’re now basically in control of our own destiny, for good or bad,” Young says. But he goes back to Iron Triangle’s employees as key to that destiny: “It’s their flexibility and skill that make a company of this size work because we’re able to open up new business areas and roll into them,” Young says. “We have enough equipment and people to take on multiple jobs, and that way we’re always opening another door when one is closing.” For such a large company with more than 75 employees plus a large number of contractors, “We’re very fluid, and there’s not much of a transition from one job to the next. For the employees the transition has always occurred, and the equipment just moves, and no one is wondering where the next job is,” Young

explains. “There’s always wood flowing and moving.”

Fire Fighting Duty When Timber Harvesting visited Iron Triangle in late summer 2013, the nearby crews had all been pulled off the job and were working with the Forest Service to fight two fires that had broken out north of John Day. It’s part of the job when operating in arid central Oregon with its fire sea-

son, Young says, noting that one year the company had to suffer through a 45-day shutdown, with much of the company turning to firefighting while some crews were able to travel and keep logging. But once fire season ended things really heated up after the 10-year stewardship contract was awarded. The company is in the process of adding three new Kenworth trucks, plus a new processor/forwarder package from Komatsu and Triad Machinery. TH

Hardwick says the company is weighing messages and will likely go with a design/system that will be fastened to the back of one or more of its vans. “I’m leaning toward ‘NH Wood NH Good, Support Sustainable Forestry’ since it is mostly New Hampshire we travel in,” he says. “I will likely use some catch phrase with it, something like ‘How many ways have forest products touched your life today?” ● Diversified J. Carey Logging, Inc., Channing, Mich. uses its chip vans more to promote its various forest and land-based services, but the subliminal forestry message comes through, as does the company’s integrity and professionalism. ● Representing the Montana Logging Assn., Bryan Lorengo last October partnered with two state DNRC foresters to help educate two high school and teacher groups about wood products and forestry. He developed a stencil designed for use with log loads. When overlaid on a large log butt and sprayed with paint, this message is formed: “MT DNRC TIMBER $ALE$ SUPPORT EDUCATION IN MONTANA.” I hope Bryan and his boss, Keith Olson, will make the stencil available to MLA members. ● Based in Marshville, NC, Edwards Wood Products, Inc. manufactures hardwood lumber, timbers and pallets at multiple locations.

camp. His theme was adopted by the North Carolina SFI Implementation Committee, which has since dispersed it throughout the state. “So many people think of logging as destroying the forest, but it’s not. It’s a cycle,” asserts Garrett Andrews. It makes a lot of sense, practical and otherwise, to use the rails of frametype log trailers for promotional purposes. While chip vans offer more “mobile billboard” potential, the associated costs can soar, and chip van numbers compared with log trailer numbers are but a glimmer. Most frame log trailers have ample space that typically is used for nothing but the manufacturer’s logo and perhaps a number assigned by the owner and/or a mill. Messages could be either in the form of oversized bumper stickers or magnetic stick-ons and could be applied in conjunction with or around federally required reflective tape. If designed as a long rectangle and lightly modified, the Andrews’ message would be a nice fit. An optional message might be: “Renewable Forests Grow Jobs.” Still another might be (in perhaps two over-and-under lines: “GodCreated Renewable Wood Fiber Harvested By The Logging Team.” By investing relatively little, loggers can help sway public opinion by creatively using tools at their disposal. It’s past time to step up and play offense, display some pride, and chisel away at TH the negative public mindset.

DownTime Ultimate Laziness The story goes that two men in a small, old-fashioned boat were fishing intently on a lake when they noticed a boat holding another fisherman who appeared to be disengaged and all but asleep. “I know that guy,” one of the companions said to the other. “They say he’s the laziest man in the county.” “Naw,” he’s not that lazy,” said the other man. “I’ve seen him moving around, and while he doesn’t go in a trot, I’ve seen lazier people.” “Okay,” said the first man, “let’s go alongside. I’ll ask him some questions. I bet I can prove just how lazy he is.” When they got close they noticed his bobber going down and around. “Looks like you may have one hooked,” the designated talker remarked. “Yeah, it does, but its just too much trouble to pull in the line. Would you do it for me?” the loner drawled. This was done and the lone fisherman then prevailed upon his visitor to unhook the fish, re-bait the hook and return it to the water. This prompted one of the two men to ask, “Why don’t you hire a kid to come with you and mind your hook?” “Reckon I could,” replied the loner, “but I’d have to go get him, pay him, and then take him home. Too much trouble.” “Well then, why don’t you raise a boy of your own?” came the question. “Not married,” came the reply. “No problem,” the questioner observed. “There are plenty of women around here eager to get married.” The loner pondered on this for a moment, then said, “That’s a promising thought. Can either of you tell me where I might find a pregnant widow?”

Cop With A Collar A young priest, fresh out of seminary, thought it would help him better understand the fears and temptations his future congregations faced if he first took a job as a policeman for several months. He passed the physical examination; then came the oral exam to test his ability to act quickly and wisely in an emergency. Among other questions he was asked, “What would you do to dis48

perse a frenzied crowd?” He thought for a moment and then said, “I’d take up a collection.”

God And The Spider During World War II, the story goes that a U.S. marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific island. The fighting had been so intense that in the smoke and crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades. Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge and crawled inside one of several small caves in the rocks. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once enemy soldiers swept up the ridge, they would quickly search the caves and he would be doomed. As he waited, he prayed, “Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen.” After praying, he lay quietly, listening to the enemy begin to draw close. He thought, “Well, I guess the Lord isn’t going to help me out of this one.” Then he saw a spider begin to build a web across the opening of the cave. “Great,” he thought. “What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humor.” As the Japanese drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see soldiers searching one

cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand. But to his amazement, after glancing at the cave opening, the soldiers moved on. It then dawned on him that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for some time. “Lord, forgive me,” prayed the Marine. “I had forgotten that in You a spider’s web is stronger than a brick wall.”

Who’s Your Doctor? The scene: Heaven, at the pearly gates. A doctor, a nurse, and the top executive of an HMO have died and are in line together, waiting to enter. St. Peter asks them what good they have done in their lives. Doctor: “I have devoted my life to the sick and needy and have had a part in caring for and healing thousands of people.” St. Peter: “That’s great. Go ahead. And what about you? Nurse: “I have supported the doctor and his patients my entire life as an adult…” St. Peter: “Wonderful. Please proceed in with the doctor. And what about you?” HMO Executive: “I was the president of a very large Health Maintenance Organization and was responsible for the healthcare of millions of people all over the country.” St. Peter: “Oh, I see. Please go in…but you can only stay for two days.”

A Bad Day

Old and ugly, dirty and tough— At times ornery and at times gruff. A hardy group these oft-scarred men, A slave to duty once they begin. Broken arches and fingers bent; Fatigued, most don’t have a cent. Giving up blood, sweat and tears, With few regrets and no real fears. They’re cranky, rough and rude— Perfect species of the Devil’s Brood. Some may be knocking on hell’s door, Would tease a lion just to hear ’im roar. In my view, though I may be mistaken, They’ll be all OK once they’re taken. The consensus is, as most can tell: They’ve already faced their share of hell.

A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “But officer,” the man began, “I can explain.” “Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.” “But, officer, I just wanted to say…” “I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!” A few hours later, the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.” “Don’t count on it,” answered the man in the cell. “I’m the groom.”

1961 Allis-Chalmers Ad Featured Henry Sanders The generous copy in the two-color Allis-Chalmers ad that appeared in forestry trade publications in 1961 was as follows: Since 1940, when Henry Sanders, of Jena, La., first “put in” for himself, he has relied on Allis Chalmers crawler tractors to keep hardwood logs rolling in tough wetland areas. Today, Sanders’ skidding force is built around four A-C units, which move approximately 5 million board feet of hardwoods yearly for Mississippi Hardwood Lumber Co. of Jonesville, La. In Concordia Parish Sanders keeps logs moving year ’round, using modern 66.5 horsepower HD-6s. Equipped with tag chains and tongs, these units move bucked logs from stump to landing. When haul roads become soft and muddy, the HD-6s put up to 15,485 lbs. of drawbar pull to work in pulling out loaded trucks. He also uses an HD-6 to maintain roadways, keep the landing clear, and push logs to the loader. Sanders reports the machines consistently give top performance under the most extreme conditions. Sanders likes the extra drawbar pull he gets from his HD-6s. He figures this added drawbar pull gives him the extra production he wants. He also likes the added traction and flotation and wide open under-clearance that are so important in swampland logging.

New Crossett Logo, 1960 Founded in 1899, Crossett Lumber Co. (CLC) was a large, influential leader in the Arkansas forest industry community for more than half a century. Operating from the town of Crossett in the far southeastern part of the state, the company adopted a new logo— a product of Robert Sidney Dickens, Inc., of 50

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014

Chicago—in late 1960. However, CLC used the logo for less than two years, as the company was acquired by GeorgiaPacific in 1962.

1907 Lumber Production Was 40.256 Billion BF According to the Census Bureau, 28,850 U.S. sawmills produced just over 40.256 billion BF of softwood and hardwood lumber in 1907. This topped 1906 lumber output by more than 3.25 billion BF. Leading producer was Washington with 3.8 billion, followed by Louisiana, 3 billion; Texas, 2.3 billion; Mississippi, 2.1 billion; and Wisconsin, 2 billion. Leading species was southern yellow pine, 13.2 billion; followed by Douglas fir, 4.7 billion; white pine, 4.2 billion; oak, 3.7 billion; hemlock, 3.4 billion, spruce, 1.7 billion; and western pine, 1.5 billion.

dented that it caught timbermen unprepared to raft the large quantities of logs they had on hand, and as a consequence large lots of logs were scattered throughout the swamps.” Furthermore, rain turned to ice across many counties and parishes and its accumulation, followed by high winds, brought down substantial quantities of large longleaf pine trees. Much of this timber was inaccessible, and it likely was never salvaged. Record-breaking cold that ensued slowed down lumber output as both laborers and machines performed at lower levels. In the Ohio Valley, “shore ice and gorges” hindered log movement along the Ohio River and its tributaries. Thousands of logs were in jeopardy as river men grumbled that conditions in the area were the worst in many years.

Nasty Winter Weather Impacted Timber Trade In the issue of Southern Lumberman dated February 25, 1905, numerous references were made to a prolonged period of abnormally cold weather— accompanied by rain, ice and/or snow—that impacted the logging and lumber trade from the Midwest to the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic shore. Along the Gulf Coast, mill owners who had waited for months for swollen streams to move logs their way encountered raging rivers that often swept logs right on by their plants. Some even rode raging currents to the Gulf of Mexico. Six mills operating near the mouth of the Wolf River, which empties into Bay St. Louis, Miss., lost $30,000 worth of logs at one time when a boom broke. The De Lile Lumber Co. alone lost $10,000 worth. Several mills at Moss Point, built at sea level, were partially under water for a time. Meanwhile, mills built on higher elevations had plenty of logs but were having trouble getting them into booms due to stiff river currents. Heavy and prolonged rains across north and central sections of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama played havoc with logging and log rafting operations. The rise was “so sudden and unprece-

Although it manufactured automobiles both before and after World War II, Willys-Overland Motors was perhaps best known for its production of the Willys MB, better known as the Jeep, for the U.S. military during the war. More than 650,000 of the durable, lightweight vehicles were made by Willys, Ford and American Bantam. In post war years the company focused on making a civilian version of the Jeep, a pickup truck and a station wagon. This ad appeared in the May 1952 issue of Alabama Lumberman.

EquipmentWorld UNH Thompson School Gets New Cat Forwarder When the Thompson School of Applied Sciences at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) asked for support to buy a forwarder for its Natural Resources and Forestry students, they

got what they asked for, and more. Founded in 1961, the school is accredited by the Society of American Foresters. Thompson students learn surveying and mapping, forest inventory, pest control and products recovery and how to manage sustainable forests. “Students come out of the forestry program at UNH with a good set of skills— ready for work,” says Peter Collins, a Thompson graduate and current forestry sales manager at Milton CAT. Each year about 30 Thompson students operate wood-handling equipment as part of their studies. That’s a good number of future professional loggers, licensed foresters and certified arborists, to name just a few of the job descriptions of Thompson School graduates. It’s no wonder that professor Don Quigley was determined to substitute the school’s aging cable skidder with a forwarder—not a used one, but a new Cat 564—

that is more environmentally friendly and safer to operate. UNH Land Coordinator Steve Eisenhaure and Stephanie Gillen, from the UNH’s Advancement Office, along with Quigley, spearheaded the forwarder fundraising campaign. The effort required buy-in at all levels and became a lesson in vision and commitment. The school administration believed that acquiring a forwarder was the right choice for student training and beyond, and proved it by pledging to fund half the estimated cost. There were also generous donations from alumni. The last component was the participation from Caterpillar and Milton CAT, which created a special governmental discount and put together an acceptable deal. The forwarder offers three key benefits—safety, efficiency, and ground protection. Quigley explains that a forwarder allows students to work in a comfortable cab off the ground, is more time and fuel-efficient, provides for greater and more precise material handling capacity, and eliminates trail damage associated with skidder use.

SelectCuts As We (ALC) See It

SFI: The “Striving” Continues After 20 Years DANNY DRUCTOR Almost 20 years ago, in 1994, a small group of professional loggers took a bold step and formed an organization called the American Loggers Council (ALC). The coalescing issue that drove them to action was the rollout that year of the Sustainable Forestry Initiatives® (SFI) Program. While the consuming side of the industry was designing a farreaching program that would have a direct impact on logging businesses, it neglected to ask what loggers thought about the program and its operational fallout. These early leaders of the American Loggers Council thought that it was time that loggers had a national, unified voice on SFI and other issues. The ALC drafted this mission statement: “The American Loggers Council is a national organization representing

independent loggers, formed to enhance the logging profession, provide a unified voice on logging issues, and cooperate with public, industrial, and private timberland owners to further sustainable forestry practices.” One of the primary goals of the strategic plan for the ALC is to enhance the professionalism of logging. This includes taking a proactive stance on issues of industry concern, building up relationships between mills and loggers, and improving the public’s perception of our industry. For the past 20 years, the ALC has promoted logger training and education programs to not only help loggers better understand the relationship that exists between their operations and the environment, but also to help positively influence the public’s perception of sustainable timber harvesting operations.

Unfortunately, a few rogue operators continue to log, generally in a lower tier, and chose to ignore both statutory and voluntary regulations. Yet they are allowed to deliver their products to SFI® participating mills, and get the same pay as those who meet program standards. It’s hard for those who are “getting it right” to compete with those who are not even trying. There are costs associated with the performance measures of the SFI® program, and for the most part, those costs are still being absorbed by timber harvesting businesses. After two decades and several SFI® program standard revisions, there is still discussion about the allowable maximum amount of wood fiber procured by SFI® participants that can be sourced from untrained loggers. Most logging businesses had one to two years to get into compliance with the new Logger Training and Education requirements before they were told they might not be able to deliver their products. Industry has had 20 years to

SelectCuts try and reach 100% compliance, yet it still wants to include language in the standard revision process that would allow participating companies to “strive to accept” no more than 5% of their fiber from untrained loggers. This gives mills an out if they are not meeting the percentage of the standard. What would happen to your business if you merely “strived” to get your business in compliance with

OSHA regulations without ever actually doing it, or if you simply strived to meet DOT regulations while hauling overweight loads? It is past time to level the playing field. Competing with loggers who are not in compliance with the SFIrequired logger training and education program, or who are not following federal and state-mandated policies, yet are still being offered a home for

their production at an SFI® program participant (mill), is unacceptable to those getting it right. If this situation is allowed to continue, those who do not abide by the laws and regulations that govern the forest industry will set the bar for the rest of us to compete against. Then, the sustainability of our industry could falter, and the public’s perception of our industry will take another negative blow. After 20 years of “striving,” SFI program participants should be getting it right. Dructor is the Executive Vice President of the American Loggers Council, a nonprofit 501(c) (6) corporation representing professional timber harvesters in 30 states.

December Services Held For Brenda Semmes Wood Funeral services were held December 27 for Brenda Semmes Wood, 65, owner of J.M. Wood Auction Co., Inc. of Montgomery, Ala. She died on December 22 after a prolonged illness. Wood and her husband, Malcom, founded J.M. Wood Auction Co. in 1973, building it with hard work and integrity and gradually strengthening the business. Before Malcom died in 1990, he urged her to give up the company, but as she told it, he knew that she would stubbornly go ahead, so he instructed her to put $50,000 of their life’s savings into the business, saying: “If you lose it, walk away.” Relying on the firm’s reputation and surrounding herself with “people I could trust,” Wood and her team held on, overcame trials, and grew and expanded the business, which now ranks among the largest privately held auction firms in the country. Its specialty is forestry, construction and agriculture equipment. Three of her children continue to operate J.M. Wood. A Montgomery native, and greatgreat granddaughter of Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes, Wood earned a home economics degree at Auburn University. She was a member of St. James Methodist Church, Montgomery. Survivors include her long-time companion, William Roger North; 60

Logging Cost Indexes In Works For South, West In a project funded by the Wood Supply Research Institute (WSRI), researchers at the University of Georgia are endeavoring to validate what they describe as the UGA Logging Cost Index, built on accumulated data provided by logging companies in the South. At the same time, they are collaborating with researchers at the University of Montana to lay the groundwork for a Logging Cost Index covering the western U.S. Timber Harvesting & Wood Fiber Operations is partnering with the universities in these efforts. The University of Georgia in late 2012 began reporting a quarterly Logging Cost Index through Timber-Mart South, a regional timber market resource updated quarterly. Based on data aggregated from actual operating cost information voluntarily submitted by southern-based logging companies, the index tracks cut-and-load costs over time. This more time sensitive and more useful quarterly index replaces Mississippi State University’s (MSU) annual logging cost index, which dated back to 1995 and included data reported through 2006. The UGA team calculated its quarterly index backward in time and compared results with those of the previous MSU annual index. The two tracked very closely over time, but more work is called for. “Since that annual index was not reported after 2006, we did not have recent cost data against which to compare our index values,” states UGA’s Dr. Dale Greene. “We collected cost records from participating logging contractors only for calendar year 2011 to establish the appropriate breakdown of logging costs into major cost categories. We now need to

SelectCuts ensure that the changes reported quarterly by the UGA Logging Cost Index through 2013 are equivalent to the actual changes incurred by logging contractors.” Greene also indicates the most recent logging business sample from the South may not be as representative on a production-weighted basis, pointing out that researchers intentionally solicited participation from larger, higher production companies to generate the initial index. While validating the southern data, WSRI would like to expand the methodology to other regions, beginning with the West, and perhaps eventually to the Lake States and Northeast, according to Greene. Timber Harvesting & Wood Fiber Operations is partnering with the researchers as they use an on-line survey to collect some of the data needed for these comparisons. The parties invite and encourage logging firms to participate, emphasizing that all submitted information will be treated with strict confidence. Visit surveymonkey.com/s/LogIndustrySurvey

increase efficiency and help others do the same. After receiving a forestry degree from the University of Arkansas at Monticello, Wilson worked as an industry forester and equipment salesman before joining the family’s logging business in 1990. When the Logger and Education Training program started shortly thereafter, Wilson became one of its earliest supporters and proponents. Today, Wilson uses his wealth of experience and connections to help the logging community as a partner in River Ridge Equipment, a new company that rebuilds and refurbishes John Deere skidders and skidder parts. This provides loggers in the state and across the country with an opportunity to increase efficiency and productivity.
