' 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 thesematerials. Production from softwood and hardwood residue by State was:

State Softwood " Hardwood

(Hundred standard cords, unpeeled)

' Michigan 835 1,816

Minnesota 271 560

• Wisconsin 478 1,655

Major species harvested were aspen (3.9 million cords), pine (1.1 million cords), maple (974

thousand cords), birch (582 thousand cords), and other hardwoods (407 thousand cords).

RONALD L. HACKETI', Mensurationist, North Central Forest Experiment Station, St. Paul, Minnesota.

=Includes logs, bolts, and wood residue used in manufacturing particleboard, wafterboard, oriented strand

board, and medium density fiberboard.

-
Whole treechip (WTC) production in the Lake States was 518 thousand cords, 18 percent less

than in 1989 and 6 percent of total pulpwood output in 1990. Michigan was the major WTC producer

with 414 thousand cords, followed by Minnesota with 76 thousand cords and Wisconsin with 28 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 Marinette, Oneida, Vilas, Bayfield, Douglas, Price, and Sawyer in Wisconsin. These 18

counties contributed 47 percent of the pulpwood production from roundwood in the Lake States in

1990.
