Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Marble, Arkansas to bring a story on Greg Head Logging. Owner Greg Head, 59, runs a single four-man crew working mainly in hardwood, felling with chain saws and using a self-loading truck owned by a contract hauler. “We are a small operation,” Head readily admits, and that’s the way he likes it. “We get in no hurry; we just try to get two big loads a day. That way we have more time to take care of the landowner and treat the land like it’s our own.” Since he has no equipment payments to make, Head says he can take it easy, with no pressure to meet a high production goal. Quality over quantity, that’s his philosophy.
