Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell has the opportunity to visit D&S Griffis Timber, Inc. in Live Oak, Florida. When David Griffis of D&S Griffis Timber was looking for a new opportunity in the logging business a year and a half ago he didn’t have to look too far. At the same time, M.A. Rigoni, Inc. out of Perry, Fla. was in need of a good contract logger and that’s when they discovered David, a longtime logger in Florida and Georgia. It was a case of good timing and today David and M.A. Rigoni have developed a strong relationship. Richard Schwab, co-owner of M.A. Rigoni, believes David and his company has been a great fit for M.A. Rigoni. “David is probably one of the best loggers that has worked for us,” Schwab says. “We’re very pleased with his production. We can put him in a clear-cut behind a chipping crew or we can put him in a first time thinning and he always exceeds our expectations.”
