State Rep. Jack McFarland is a Smart Logger (Master Loggers who go the extra mile to get audited by a third-party) and is the only Logger in the Louisiana Legislature. McFarland talks about how he has been able to educate his colleagues about the forest industry and its contributions to the state's economy and jobs. If re-elected for a third term, it would be his last eligible term, making him one of the senior members of the State House of Representatives. The challenge, he says, is the disconnect many urban-area representatives have with the forest industry.
