Pulpwood productionin the Lake States--Michigan,Minnesota,and

Wisconsin--fellfrom 7.19 million cords in 1984 to 6.84 million cords in 1985.

Wisconsinproduced2.59 million cords, Michiganproduced2.37 million cords, and

Minnesota produced 1.88 million cords.

Ninety-twopercent of pulpwoodcame from roundwood(includingchips from

roundwood);the remaindercame from mill redsiduesuch as slabs,edgings, veneer

cores, and chips from these materials. Productionfrom softwoodand hardwood
