Southern pulpwood production, 1967

Abstract

Pulpwood production in the south leveled off slightly in 1968 but still established another record high of 33,651,100 cords—63 percent of the Nation’s total. Significant gains were noted in the use of residues, whereas roundwood production showed a light decrease for the first time in 10 years. At the year’s end, there were 92 mills in the operation of the South with a total daily pulping capacity exceeding 70,000 tons, and eight new mills now under construction will boost the total daily capacity by 5,300 tons. Eight mills outside the region also used wood harvested in the South in 1967.
