Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott has the opportunity to visit Southern H Logging, LLC in Sharon, Georgia. It’s been a big year full of changes for J.W. Henderson III, 36, the owner of Southern H Logging, LLC. It started in June 2013 when he was awarded full custody of his six-year-old daughter, Chloe. Prior to that he had been mowing power line corridors all over the state for Georgia Power under his company, J.W. Henderson, Inc., which he started in 2002. That work often kept him on the road Monday through Friday—a schedule that wouldn’t fit with a young child at home alone. Henderson—the J.W. stands for John Walton, incidentally—knew he had to do something different. Fortunately, an opportunity presented itself in the form of his close friend Trey Kennedy, forester with Gillis Ag and Timber, based in Soperton, Ga.
