Historical Trends 

of Timber Product Output 

in the Southeast 

This report contains historical data of canvasses of were conducted to determine the amount and source of 

primary wood-using plants conducted periodically in wood receipts and annual timber product drain by 

the five Southeastern States and presents changes in county and to determine interstate and cross-regional 

product output by year of survey, species group, and movement of industrial roundwood. Only primary 

product. This data complements the Forest Inventory wood-using mills were canvassed and in this report 

and Analysis periodic inventory of volume, growth, and only Statewide totals by product are reported. Primary 

removals from each State's timberland. The canvasses mills are those that process roundwood in log or bolt 

form or as chipped roundwood. Examples of industrial 

roundwood products are saw logs, pulpwood, veneer 

logs, poles, posts, and logs used for composite board 

products. Mills producing products from residues 

generated at primary and secondary processors were 

not canvassed. Trees chipped in the woods were 

included only if they were delivered to a primary 

domestic manufacturer. 

A 100-percent canvass of all primary wood-processors 

was conducted for each of the years reported. The 

first canvass in the south for timber products other 

than pulpwood was completed in South Carolina in 

1957 with subsequent canvasses being made periodically for each of the five Southeastern States. 

Mills outside of the State being canvassed known to 

be using roundwood harvested from that State were 

also contacted. Each mill was canvassed by mail or 

through personal contact at plant locations. Telephone 

contacts followed mailed questionnaire responses when 

additional information or clarification of response was 

necessary. In the event of a nonresponse, data collected in previous surveys were updated by current 

data collected for mills of similar size, product type, 

and location. 

Pulpwood production data were taken from an annual 

canvass of all southeastern pulpmills, conducted annually in cooperation with the American Pulpwood 

Association. Medium density fiberboard, insulation 

board, and hardboard plants were included in this 

survey. 

The State tables presented here are for production 

only. Production is the sum of timber harvested and 

used within a State, plus all roundwood exported to 

other U.S. States. Space is provided at the end of 

each State table for updating information as new 

State production data becomes available. 

The Southeastern Station gratefully acknowledges the 

cooperation and assistance provided by all of the State 

forestry agencies and the Cooperative Extension 

Services in collecting mill data and to forest industry 

and mill managers for providing timber products 

information.
