Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell has the opportunity to visit Sanders Logging Company in Cochran, Georgia. When Harry Sanders III was just a teenager, he knew he wanted to take over the family logging business one day. He’ll get that chance soon enough, but for now he looks to the guidance of his father, Harry Jr., whose logging experience is deeply rooted. Harry Jr.’s father, Harold Sr., had a small logging company for many years and started out with two 10-wheeler trucks and an old skidder. Harry Jr. started working full-time for him when he was 19. He worked as a regular hand for five years and then Harold Sr. gave him 50% of the business. The two men began to grow the business and started working for different companies like Brunswick, cutting hardwood, and after that logging pine for Georgia Kraft and then Georgia-Pacific.
