Current Issue
BONNERDALE, Ark.—Steve Mehalic, 59, was just a boy when he started spending summers on his father’s logging crew. His dad had started a treelength outfit in 1970, setting chokers, running chain saws and averaging three to four loads a day. Mehalic graduated high school in 1985 and went to work for him full time. Five years later he started buying his own equipment one piece at a time and putting them to work on his father’s jobs. Eventually the Arkansas native had a full lineup and struck out on his own to establish Steve Mehalic Logging Inc.
