Judges are not very good foresters.
The real problem in this country is that there are a lot of judges who aren't real good judges.and i hate media outlets that are so obviosly biased in how they write the articales.
I started logging in 72 in Grass Valley Calif. It was great fun. Three log loads all day long. People respected you and what you did. It has been a slow steady deterioration ever since. A constant battle. I'm not sure whats been harder, the work or the politics. I sometimes wonder if in 20 years there will be any logging at all in USA.

We still do quite a bit of logging around here. Not too many 3 log loads these days, though. Most of the logging is on private ground. The FS lets some little sales out once in awhile but it's usually junk and almost always goes to re-offer before it finally sells.
How long since you were in Grass Valley? It's become a yuppie retirement town, there's only one saw shop that knows anything, the Brunswick Mill is gone, and loggers are an endangered species now.
I left Grass Valley in 79, worked mostly for Robinson Timber and some for Lausman Brothers when they had their own sawmill. Hung out at Duffys Success in Nevada City. All great memories.I think I got in on some of the last days of when logging was king..Miss the Sierras too, beautiful country.
