Current Issue
HOLLAND, Ky.— Veteran Kentucky logger Eddie Rich, Jr., 65, has built a family legacy on the foundation handed down to him by his father. Working in a lot of higher elevation hardwood stands, Rich and his small crew keep things simple and traditional, felling big timber with chain saws and setting chokers to drag logs uphill by cable winch. Rich likes to keep overhead down by maintaining older machines; even after accumulating considerable operational hours, his Deere skidder and Tigercat loader still get the job done.
