PULPWOODPRODUCTIONIN THE LAKESTATES

, BY COUNTY,1972

ABSTRACT.--This 27th annual report shows 1972 Lake States pulpwood production to be 4.3 million cords, up 7 percent from 1971. Pulpwood harvests

increased in all species except pine and tamarack.

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

Michigan.

Compared with 1971, Lake States pulpwood production rose 7 percent to 4.3

million cords in 1972 (table i). Production climbed 158,000 cords in Minnesota and 134,000 cords in Michigan, but fell 15,000 cords in Wisconsin.

Lake States loggers harvested 92 percent of the pulpwood; the remainder was

mill residue such as slabs, veneer cores, and chips from these materials.

Pulpwood harvest increased for all species except pine and tamarack; the

largest increase was in miscellaneous hardwoods, up 176,000 cords.

. Top'producing counties were Dickinson, Iron, and Marquette in Michigan;

Oneida, Price, and Marinette in Wisconsin; and St. Louis, Koochiching, and

Itasca in Minnesota. The latter three counties furnished nearly threefifths of Minnesota's pulpwood harvest.

In order to satisfy the increasing demand for early publication of pulpwood

production data by county, we are relegating the table showing receipts and

imports, usually published here, to a later publication.

Pulpmills using Lake States timber in 1972 reported their pulpwood receipts

by State and county. Their cooperation is gratefully acknowledged. Thanks

are also due to AI Boelter, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, for

collecting the data on pulpmills in Michigan.

Special thanks are given to Jerold Hahn, Mensurationist at this Station, for

his extensive computer programing that provided table i.
