In Natchitoches Parish, an entire logging operation is shut down after vandals destroyed two pieces of vital equipment in Winn Parish last Thursday. Enforcement officers say a radiator on a skidder and hole in the engine block of a cutter have paralyzed the business.  Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Mike Strain says LDAF along with the Winn Parish Sherriff’s office is asking for the public’s help.
