Timber Harvesting magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell has the opportunity to visit Mailloux Timber Company in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The business of logging is not for the faint of heart. Managing the overall business is tough enough, and then there are the challenges in the woods that await a logger each day. The unexpected is bound to take place. It’s a grind that loggers are willing to endure because they love working in the woods and they know they have people counting on them to succeed. Unfortunately, some logging businesses end up failing due to weak markets, poor equipment, getting too big too soon and a host of other factors. Some loggers who couldn’t make it find another profession or go to work for another logger. They don’t want to take the risk of starting up another logging business again. They give up on their dream. But there are loggers out there who won’t be denied. Jamey Mailloux of Mailloux Timber Company is one of them.
