Abstract

In 1986, the average price for a cord of Midsouth roundwood was $47.20, a decrease of 6 percent from the 1985 price. The average price for a green ton of chipped residues also decreased, down 1 percent to $21.77. The average price for a green ton of sawdust fell to $10.25, 3 percent below the 1985 price. Between 1977 and 1986, real prices for roundwood fell, but real prices for softwood chips remained stable and increased for hardwood chips. The expenditure for wood fiber in the Midsouth increased 5 percent to $1,546 million in 1986.
