Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Blackshear, Georgia to spend some time with Suwanee Forest Products and JCL (Josh/Chad Logging). Sometimes there is more to a job than meets the eye. Folks in the timber business often wear more than one hat, and Chad Nimmer, 38, is certainly no exception. In fact, his hat rack must be running out of pegs. First and foremost, Nimmer is a procurement forester for wood dealer Pierce Timber Co., which supplies fiber to mills all over southeast Georgia and northeast Florida. That’s his day job, but it’s far from his only job. Like many of his fellow foresters at Pierce, Nimmer also owns a logging company—Suwanee Forest Products, which fields three crews. In partnership with Pierce colleague Josh Cave, he is also half-owner of a second logging company, JCL (Josh/Chad Logging).
