RAMER, Tennessee –Coming from a family that has worked in the woods for generations, Scottie Robertson, 50, has been around the logging business all his life. His grandfather mixed sawmilling with farming nearly 100 years ago. Scottie’s dad, James Robertson, followed in those footsteps; he also split his time with farming when he first started logging in 1969. James bought his first new skidder in 1973 and continued logging full-time for 50 years before he retired.
