Tree Farmers are landowners who voluntarily manage their woodlands for the continuing growth of forest crops. Charles Barge of Noxubee County discusses how things have changed since his father began tree farming in 1941. He explains how poor forestry practices led to disease and infestations in the past like the Southern pine beetle invasion of the 1960s.
