Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson visits Jenkins Logging located in Many, Louisiana. Johnny Jenkins, 62, is the kind of guy you can feel like you know everything about after five minutes and nothing about at the same time. But one thing really prevails after a discussion with him: he’s just a really good dude. He cares about his family, and his crew, and when you ask him about either, the lines seem a little blurred. “We’re like brothers,” he says, “They don’t have the same name I’ve got but we’re like brothers.” In business for over 30 years, Jenkins Logging has crewmembers that have been with the logger from the beginning. Several have been with him over 20 years, and quite a few others have more than 10 years on the job. Unsurprisingly, he cites his crew as his reason for success.
