Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell has the opportunity to visit Millwood Brothers Logging in Forsyth, Georgia. In 1974, Millwood Brothers Logging became possibly the first logging operation in the South to convert to whole tree chipping. Stooge Millwood saw a chipper working on a power line right-of-way and became interested in the idea. The company was soon chipping for Georgia Kraft Co. with a Morbark unit. They’ve been chipping ever since. Today, Steve Millwood, 55, and his sons, Kyle, 33, and Bo, 32, run the business. Steve has been working for the company full-time since 1978 and has been a part owner since the 80’s. Kyle and Bo started in 2002 and 2010, respectively. They are now part owners. The business used to consist of a logging crew and a clean chipping crew since the late 80’s. In March of 2013 they decided to go strictly to fuel chipping.
