Timber Harvesting magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell travels to Belle Fourche, South Dakota to visit Daniels Forestry. A positive attitude can go a long way in the logging industry. As all logging company owners know there are going to be good times and bad times, but it’s how you respond during the bad times that can define your business. One unhappy crew member can make or break how a company’s day goes so it’s important for owners to set a good example for their employees. Kevin Daniels, 39, strives to make sure he keeps an upbeat attitude that spreads to his employees, which is an important reason why in just three years he has turned Daniels Forestry into one of the most respected logging operations in the vicinity of the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota and northeast Wyoming.
