Introduction

This publication contains historical pulpwood production 

data derived from canvasses of wood-using pulpmills that 

have drawn roundwood or wood residues from lands within 

the 13 Southern States (fi g. 1). The canvasses of southern 

pulpmills have been conducted annually for more than 60 

years. Between 1949 and 1993 the Southern and the Southeastern Forest Experiment Stations of the Forest Service, 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, alternatively compiled, 

analyzed, and reported the pulpwood canvass. In 1995 the 

two units were combined to form the Southern Research 

Station; and 1 year earlier the Commonwealth of Kentucky 

had been added to comprise the total, contiguous area from 

which data are routinely gathered and disseminated in a 

variety of inventory and analysis reports. Kentucky’s pulpwood production data from 1962 to the present are included 

in this report. Annual pulpmill canvasses were conducted 

to determine the amount and source of pulpwood receipts 

by county and to determine interstate and cross-regional 

movement of industrial roundwood. County level and crossregional movement of roundwood is not addressed in this 

report, because such data are voluminous, considering the 

number of years covered.

Pulpwood production data are combined with other data that 

are provided by the periodic canvasses of all primary woodusing plants conducted in the Southern States. Such combinations provide a nearly complete picture of total industrial 

timber product output. These data are used to augment the 

Forest Inventory and Analysis annual inventory of timber 

removals; i.e., they provide product proportions of (total) 

removals, which are used to quantify products from each 

State’s timberland. Production volumes in this bulletin are 

reported in standard cords (5,400 and 5,600 pounds per cord 

for softwood and hardwood, respectively), green tons, and 

thousand cubic feet.

Pulpwood

Pulpwood production, like many other commodities 

production, varies with the ups and downs of the Nation’s 

economy. Relatively stable economic conditions that 

prevailed over the last one-half of the 20th century created 

a nearly constant increased demand for pulpwood. The rise 

in population, combined with an increase in the per capita 

consumption of paper, paperboard, and other nonpaper products of pulpwood, helped bring an expansion throughout the 

industry and fueled the general upward trend in pulpwood 

production through the late 1990s. In the 2005 RPA Timber 

Assessment Update, Haynes reported that from the late 

1990s to 2002 the strength in the U.S. dollar—compared 

to other world currencies in the period—offset U.S. industrial competitiveness and contributed to an overall decline 

in industrial production during that period (Haynes and 

others 2007). Southern pulpwood production peaked in 

1997 at 75.9 million cords, or nearly 201 million green 

tons. However, global competition, coupled with more 

stringent environmental standards, a leveling demand for 

paper products, and an aging infrastructure, had taken its 

toll on the industry and overall production. In addition, the 

number of pulpmills in the South has declined over the last 

several years. Notwithstanding this downturn, however, 

southern pulpwood production increased nearly fourfold 

from 16.2 million cords (43.9 million green tons) in 1953 to 

64.7 million cords (170.9 million green tons) in 2006 (table 

A.1a). Total pulpwood production on southern timberlands 

over the last 53 years has totaled more than 2.6 billion cords 

(7.0 billion green tons). This volume constitutes nearly 253 

million truckloads of wood. If the total cords harvested 

were stacked end to end, the resulting 4.0 million miles of 

wood could circle the earth 161 times or go to the moon and 

return 8 times. Tables A.2a–A.2c and A.3a–A.3c display 

total production volumes by year for the Southeastern 

region (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and 

Virginia) and the South Central region (Alabama, Arkansas, 

Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and 

Texas). Table A.4 displays the total number of southern 

pulpmills and capacity by year, while tables A.5a through 

A.17c display total production volumes by year for each of 

the Southern States.

Roundwood

Several signifi cant trends in the southern pulpwood industry 

have taken place over the last fi ve decades. In the early 

1950s combined softwood and hardwood roundwood pulpwood production amounted to 1.0 billion cubic feet, or about 

25 percent of total industrial product output for the South 

and 57 percent of the Nation’s total pulpwood production 

(U.S. Department of Agriculture 1958). By 1970, pulpwood 

production as a proportion of total industrial product output 

had reached 48 percent, or more than 2.5 billion cubic feet. 

This proportion remained relatively stable until the late 

1990s when pulpwood production as a proportion of total 

product output began to decline. In 2005, at 3.4 billion cubic 

feet, pulpwood accounted for 40 percent of the South’s total 

industrial roundwood output and 75 percent of the Nation’s 

total pulpwood production (Johnson and others 2008; Smith 

and others 2008, in press). Softwood roundwood production has more than doubled—from 14.1 million cords (38.2 

million green tons) in 1953 to 31.7 million cords (85.7 

million green tons) in 2006. However, softwood roundwood 

expressed as a percent of total production declined signifi -

cantly until the mid-1980s (fi g. 2). In 1953, softwood roundwood supplied 87 percent of the total pulpwood production. 

By 1986, it made up only 45 percent of total production and 
2

remained relatively stable until 2002. Softwood roundwood 

production has increased over the last few years and now 

accounts for about one-half of total pulpwood production. 

The decline in softwood roundwood as a percent of total 

wood used was offset by the trend toward greater utilization of wood (mill) residues and the abundant hardwood 

resources in the South.

Production methods and techniques developed over the 

last 50 years have enabled the pulp industry to use greater 

quantities of hardwood. Hardwood roundwood production 

has climbed from slightly <2.0 million cords (5.5 million 

green tons) in 1953 to more than 14.6 million cords (40.9 

million green tons) in 2006. In 1953, hardwood roundwood 

furnished only 12 percent of total production and peaked in 

1997 at 27 percent, or more than 20 million cords. However, 

since 1997 hardwood roundwood production has declined, 

and in 2006 it accounted for 23 percent of total production.

Wood Residues

Mills reported two types of receipts: (1) roundwood and (2) 

wood residues. Wood residues primarily are mill residue 

chips, a byproduct of sawmilling and veneer mill operations. 

Chips produced in the woods or when material received as 

roundwood by primary producers is chipped instead of being 

milled are not technically mill residues, but are reported as 

such in this and other resource bulletins. Figure 2 illustrates 

the dramatic increase in the utilization of wood residues for 

pulpwood. In 1953, the proportion of wood residues used 

for pulpwood was almost negligible at <1 percent. Wood 

residues used to make pulpwood increased from nearly 

76,000 cords (185,000 green tons) in 1953 to more than 

18.3 million cords (44.4 million green tons) in 2006. Wood 

residue as a proportion of total use has remained relatively 

stable since the late 1970s, peaked at 35 percent in 1985, 

and accounted for 28 percent of total pulpwood production 

in 2006.

Mills and Pulping Capacity

In 1953, 61 southern pulpmills were operating and drawing 

wood from the 13 Southern States (table A.4). Mill construction proceeded at a feverish pace during the mid- and late 

1950s and again during the late 1960s and early 1970s. 

During the 20-year period between 1953 and 1973, 52 new 

mills were constructed, more than tripling daily pulping 

capacity. The total number of pulpmills drawing wood from

the South peaked at 129 in 1979, 117 of those mills were 

operating in Southern States and 12 were in surrounding 

States. Even though the number of mills declined to 87 in 

2006, the average daily pulping capacity increased steadily 

through expansion and modernization of existing facilities 

(fi g. 3). In 1953, the combined daily pulping capacity of 

southern mills was 28,670 tons, or an average of 470 tons 

per mill, and accounted for about one-half of the Nation’s 

total pulping capacity (Cruikshank 1954). Southern pulping 

capacity steadily increased and accounted for 60 percent 

of the Nation’s pulping capacity by 1961 and reached 

70 percent by 1974 (Smith and others 2003). Daily pulping 

capacity in the South peaked in 1998 at 140,610 tons per 

day. In 2006, the 87 southern pulpmills had a combined 

daily pulping capacity of 125,093 tons per day and averaged 

1,438 tons per mill, still accounting for more than 70 percent 

of the Nation’s total pulping capacity (fi g. 2) (Johnson and 

Steppleton 2008). Mills operating outside southern borders 

but drawing some of their wood from the South have 

fl uctuated between 2 and 14 mills over the last fi ve decades.

Outlook

Over the last 53 years, pressures on pulpwood suppliers 

to reduce costs and increase production have substantially 

improved harvesting techniques. The traditional short-stick 

pulpwood harvest operations of the early 1950s have been 

completely replaced by totally mechanized tree-length 

harvesting operations. Mechanical tree harvesters and inwoods chipping operations have allowed almost total tree 

utilization in softwoods and very high utilization rates in 

hardwoods as well. Recent harvest and utilization studies 

conducted in Georgia and Alabama indicate that nearly onehalf of the softwood volume being harvested for pulpwood 

in those States is coming from pine plantations (Bentley 

and Harper 2007). This percentage will no doubt go even 

higher in the next few years due to the maturation of the 

Conservation Reserve Program pine plantations established 

in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. Utilization of wood 

residues from primary processors is equally high. The 2005 

timber products assessment for the South showed wood

residue use at almost 100 percent (Johnson and others 2008). 

Of the 1.3 billion cubic feet of coarse residue produced 

mostly by southern sawmills and veneer mills in 2005 more 

than 1.0 billion cubic feet, or 82 percent, was sent to pulpmills for fi ber production.

According to the 2005 RPA Timber Assessment Update 

tonnage of U.S. paper and paperboard consumption 

increased at an annual average rate of 2.8 percent between 

1960 and the peak in 1999. A weaker dollar since 2002 

has contributed to a gradual rebound in industrial production, but structural changes in demand have led to a slower 

projected growth. Between 2005 and 2050 the 2005 

update projection envisions an average growth rate of just 

0.7 percent for the period. U.S. per capita consumption of 

paper and paperboard is projected to remain relatively fl at 

at the current level of 700 pounds per capita (Haynes and 

others 2007). As reported earlier in this report, technical 

innovations over the last 50 years have led to increased use 

of hardwoods, mill residues, as well as an increased use of 

recycled waste paper since the mid-1980s. In fact, wastepaper recovery was projected to reach 52 percent for 2006.

Thanks to the determination and perseverance of paper 

scientists on both the supplier and production sides of the 

industry, U.S. paper companies are rapidly closing in on 

the goal of 55 percent wastepaper recovery rates by 2012 

(PaperAge 2006). Haynes and others (2007) reported that 

the increased paper recycling rates have had a pronounced 

impact on growth in softwood pulpwood receipts at wood 

pulpmills from the mid-1980s to 1990s. Softwood pulpwood receipts are projected to increase at an average annual 

growth rate of 0.9 percent per year between 2005 and 2050, 

while hardwood pulpwood receipts are projected to increase 

by only 0.4 percent per year for the same period. By virtue 

of its tremendous pulping capacity, the South is projected to 

remain the dominant U.S. region in production of wood fi ber 

products and in pulpwood supply and demand (Ince and 

Durbak 2002).

southern pulpwood production, 1953–2006. Resour. Bull. SRS–139. Asheville,

Southern pulpwood production has increased nearly fourfold from 16.2 million 

cords (43.9 million green tons) in 1953 to 64.7 million cords (170.9 million 

green tons) in 2006. Softwood roundwood production more than doubled in the 

same time period; however, softwood production expressed as a proportion of 

the total production has declined from 87 percent in 1953 to 49 percent in 2006. 

In contrast, hardwood roundwood production and production from residues of 

all types substantially increased. The average daily pulping capacity of southern 

mills climbed from 28,670 tons per day in 1953 to 125,093 tons per day in 2006. 

Southern mills accounted for 70 percent of the Nation’s total pulping capacity in 

2006.
