Every pioneer was a logger and a lumberman. A logger cuts down trees, while a lumberman makes money by selling the cut trees to someone who needs the wood. The early settler did both. When early settlers came to the section of land they were going to farm, they did not find clear fields ready to plough. Except on the prairies, they usually found a forest. They had to cut the forest down before they could plant their seeds and grow grain and vegetables for their family..
