PULPWOOD PRODUCTION IN THE LAKE STATES BY COUNTY, 1973

James E. Blyth, Principal Market Analyst, and

, Jerold T. Hahn, Mensurationist

ABSTRACT.--This 28th annual report shows 1973 pulpwood production by

county and species group in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Lake

States pulpwood production rose to 4.7 million cords in 1973 from 4.3

million cords in 1972.

,

OXFORD: 861.0(77) :792. KEY WORDS: residue, Minnesota, Wisconsin,

Michigan.

Lake States pulpwood production rose to 4.7 million cords in 1973 from

4.3 million cords in 1972 (table i). Production advanced 221,000 cords

in Wisconsin, 185,000 cords in Michigan, and 23,000 cords in Minnesota.

Nine out of i0 cords were harvested by Lake States loggers; the remainder was mill residue such as slabs, veneer cores, and chips from

these materials.

In 1972 only 8 percent of the Lake States pulpwood was mill residue.

Most sawmills erected since 1970 in the Lake States are selling their

chippable wood residue to pulpmills. In addition, several sawmills

have been purchased or built in the Lake States by pulp manufacturing

firms during the last 3 years.

Nearly all (94 percent) of the additional pulpwood output above the

1972 level was in hardwoods. Major gains were in aspen (+134,000 cords),

miscellaneous hardwoods (+129,000 cords), and in hardwood residue

(+92,000 cords). Pine harvesting fell 50,000 cords below the 1972

level, the only important decline.

Significant production increases occurred in western Upper Michigan and

northeastern and northwestern Wisconsin. Top-produclng counties were

iron, Baraga, and Delta in Michigan; Oneida, Price, and Bayfield in

Wisconsin; and St. Louis, Koochichlng, and Itasca in Minnesota.

Pulpmills using Lake States timber in 1973 reported their pulpwood

receipts by State, county, and species groups. Their cooperation is

gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are also due to AI Boelter, Michigan

Department of Natural Resources, for collecting the data from pulpmills

in Michigan.
