Bill Harrison, 59, owner of Harrison Logging, Inc., is always going from one place to the next, spending his days overseeing the four crews he fields. Two of those crews were working on different sections of the same tract when Southern Loggin’ Times visited in February. It’s a tract with which Harrison is quite familiar. He’s been working in these 16,000 acres for 25 years, coming back to different parts of it every year. It was formerly Ocala Lumber Co. land but has now been acquired by Adena Springs South, a livestock company based in Williston. The current job is to clear 19 separate 160-acre circles, as the land is being converted for organic cattle.
