Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson visits T&A Timber located in Hamburg, Arkansas. Trapper Holland, 29, like many, has been around logging his entire life. His grandfather started a crew nearly 50 years ago, and when it came time for Holland to graduate high school in 2003 and find a job, he did what many do. He went into the woods and hasn’t looked back. “When I was born, I came out to be a logger,” he says with a smile. The Hamburg, Ark. logger isn’t afraid of a challenge and pushes his crew, T&A Timber, to do it all—traveling into Louisiana to cut, contract with GP and Plum Creek, as well as purchase private tracts to cut. Holland feels this is the best way to maximize his production. “Doesn’t matter to me,” he says, “as long as we’ve got a job and we’re making money.”
