Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson travels to Waverly, Virginia to visit Chris C. Scott Logging LLC. Chris Scott, 60, didn’t start logging right out of high school. Instead, coming from a farming community, when he got out of school he wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do for a living. He bided time working at a feed store, doing hard labor. During this time he met his wife Cindy, who worked in town as well. For many years Scott worked at the feed store, helped on his family farm and cut firewood to help make ends meet. As the couple decided to grow their family, the job at the store wasn’t cutting it, even with added work from farm and firewood—so Scott made a change. Not being interested in the complete seasonal gamble farming offered after watching his grandfather struggle with low prices or bad crops, Scott turned to logging.
