Abstract

In 1992, volume of industrial roundwood products removed from Minnesota's forest totaled 392 million cubic feet--14% more than in 1990. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers decreased 2% to 1,595 thousand tons, green weight. Almost all plant residues were used, primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 203 million cubic feet, saw logs ranked second at 59 million cubic feet, and veneer logs were third with 3 million cubic feet. The number of primary processing mills increased from 572 in 1990 to 596 in 1992. Total receipts increased 13% to 264 million cubic feet.
