ABSTRACT.---Lake States pulpwood production climbed to a record 8.54 million cords in 1989.

Pulpwood production is shown by county and species group in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

KEY WORDS: Residue, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin.

Q

• Pulpwood production 2 in the Lake StatesmMichigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsinmrose to a

record 8.54 million cords in 1989 from 8.14 million cords in 1988. Wisconsin produced 3.16

million cords, Michigan produced 3.12 million cords, and Minnesota produced 2.26 million cords.

Ninety-three percent of the pulpwood harvested came from roundwood (including chips

from roundwood); the remainder came from mill residue such as slabs, edgings, veneer cores, and

chips from these materials. Production from softwood and hardwood residue by State was:

State Softwood Hardwood

" (Hundred standard cords, unpeeled)

Michigan 793 1,81 9

Minnesota 287 497

Wisconsin 591 2,325

: •

Major species harvested were aspen (3.9 million cords), pine (935 thousand cords), maple

(820 thousand cords), birch !636 thousand cords), and balsam fir (409 thousand cords).

Lake States loggers p_duced 629 thousand cords of whole tree chips (WTC), 4 percent less

than in 1988 and 7 percent o[ total pulpwood output in 1989. Michigan was the major WTC

producer with 477 thousand_ords, followed by Minnesota with 91 thousand cords and Wisconsin

with 60 thousand cords.

Counties harvesting more than 130 thousand cords each were Delta, Menominee, Dickinson; Iron, Marquette, and Ontonagon in Michigan; Koochiching, St. Louis, Beltrami, Cass, and

Itasca in Minnesota; and Forest, Lincoln, Marinette, Oneida, Bayfield, Price, and Sawyer in wisconsin. These 18 counties contributed 46 percent of the pulpwood produced from roundwood in

the I_ake States in 1989.
