SLAYDEN, Tenn. – Michael Shannon Jarman grew up logging with mules, and as an adult worked with his dad skidding with dozers. When he started his own company, Jarman Logging, in the late ’90s, he grew interested in modern mechanized techniques after attending industry trade shows. Recognizing the potential advantages and gains in efficiency and productivity, Jarman progressively worked towards buying all new machinery from Cat, Barko, Deere and now Tigercat. Having recently downsized from four crews to one, Jarman has passed the logging legacy on to his sons, McClain Watkins and Clayton Yates.
