Timber Harvesting magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson has the opportunity to visit Trey Maxwell Logging in Sarepta, Louisiana. For a man from rural Louisiana who likes hunting, fishing and otherwise relishes the outdoors, there’s really not much more he could want from a job in the woods. “There’s cool air and country music in these machines,” logger Trey Maxwell says with a grin. “What more could you want?” So when Maxwell, 45, who hails from Sarepta, located in the state’s far northwestern corner, finished his four years on the Louisiana Tech baseball team and came out with a forestry degree, it was very easy to see where he wanted his path to go. Long a fan of “new toys” as he calls them, Maxwell says he started from nothing. His maternal uncle made sure when he climbed in a skidder for the first time one summer, simply looking for some extra money, the logging bug firmly bit him.
