Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Southport, Florida to visit K&B Land and Timber Company. If you’re reading this, Tim Southerland has a message for you: get involved. Southerland, 49, is the owner of K&B Land and Timber Co. and he is actively engaged in his industry at both the local and national level. He has made numerous trips to Washington, DC with the American Loggers Council, and to the Florida state capitol in Tallahassee with the Southeastern Wood Producers Assn. “Daddy always told us whatever you get into, whatever you do, in any industry there will be givers and there will be takers,” the logger recalls. “You make sure you are a giver and that you leave your industry better than when you found it. If you keep that mindset, you not only do well but the people around you do better, too.”
