Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson visits Dixon Timber Company located in Jesup, Georgia. Christie Dixon, 54, is both exactly what you would expect a female logger to be like and exactly what you wouldn’t expect a female logger to be like. She’s a complete pit bull when it comes to her logging operation, Dixon Timber Co., but she’s also a complete girly girl that loves talking about her granddaughter Ramsey’s beauty pageants. Quick to say that her hands wash just as well, and as easily, as anyone else’s Dixon, isn’t afraid to get dirty. She knows she’s a female logger and that in and of itself is a challenge. But not one she’s shied away from. “If something breaks down and I need to get down and get greasy, that’s fine. If I need to get parts or help lift something, I will. I am not above doing anything out here,” she says.
