Southern Loggin’ Times Associate Editor David Abbott travels to Mayfield, Kentucky to spend some time with Danny Murphy Logging, or as owner Danny Murphy likes to call it, Murphy & Sons Logging. The company had very humble beginnings, with Murphy starting the operation in 1987 with $20.00 to his name and a few pieces of overpriced and overused equipment. Today, Murphy has built the company into an impressive enterprise that is now run by his two sons, Ronnie and Daniel. The operation currently operates in two states, covering parts of western Kentucky and northwest Tennessee.
