ABSTI_kCT.---Pulpwood product/on in the Lake States---Mlchlgan, Mlnnesota, and

Wisconsin--advanced from 4.74 million cords in 1977 to 4.91 million cords in

1978. Pulpwood production is shown by county and species group for these e

three States.

OXFORD: 861.0(77) :792. KEY WORDS: Residue, Michigan, Minnesota,

Wisconsin. '

Lake States pulpwood production inched up to 4.91 million cords in 1978 from

4.74 million cords in 1977. By State, production was 1.89 million cords in

Wisconsin (up 4 percent), 1.68 million cord in Michigan (up 5 percent), and

1:34 million cords in Minnesota (up 0.4 percent).

Nine out of I0 cords came from roundwood (including chips); the other cord

came from mill residue such as slabs, edglngs, veneer cores, and chips from

those materials. Production from softwood and hardwood residue by State

was:

State Softwood Hardwood

(Hundred standard cords)

Michigan 268 1,203

Minnesota 353 744

• Wisconsin 404 1,835

Pine pulpwood output climbed to a record 820,000 cords, 88,000 cords ahead

of 1977. Other moderate increases were in maple (77,000 cords), aspen

(34,000 cords), and birch (24,000 cords). Elm pulpwood production fell

34,000 cords; several other species had nominal declines.

Harvesting rose substantially in the Western Upper Peninsula and Northern

Lower Peninsula of Michigan and in Northwestern Wisconsin. No area had a

significant harvest reduction.

Counties producing more than I00,000 cords were Iron, Marquette, and

Dickinson in Michigan; St. Louis, Koochichlng, and Itasca in Minnesota; and

Oneida, Price, Marlnette, and Forest in Wisconsin (table I).
