March/April 2009
Timber Harvesting’s March/April issue features Bruno Couture’s cut-to-length system in his Cortland, NY operation, Couture Timber Harvesting. The issue highlights loggers going against the grain by signing maintenance contracts in order to boost uptime. Also featured are the Lasiter family’s logging legacy in Tullos, La. and a recap of the annual Oregon Logging Conference. A Roundup section spotlights makes, models, and options of processors.
