Bill > SR76

This resolution congratulates Robert L. Strother, a third-generation logger who was named the 2023-2024 Georgia Logger of the Year by the Georgia Forestry Association (GFA) and the Southeastern Wood Producers Association (SWPA). The resolution highlights Strother's significant contributions to the timber industry, including leading Strother Timber Company, which operates with four logging crews and 20 company trucks, hauling approximately 240 loads of wood per week in middle Georgia. His logging career began in 2000, continuing a family tradition that started with his grandfather in the 1930s and now extends to his son, representing the fourth generation in the industry. The resolution also recognizes Strother's community involvement, such as sponsoring regional forestry meetings, participating in industry activities, and hosting university forestry students for operational tours. The Senate officially congratulates Strother on his achievement and wishes him continued success, with instructions for the Secretary of the Senate to provide him with an official copy of the resolution.
