Abstract

In 2007, roundwood output from Tennesseeâ€™s forests was 297 million cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers totaled 114 million cubic feet. Seventy percent of the plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Saw logs were the leading roundwood product at 166 million cubic feet; pulpwood ranked second at 117 million cubic feet; other industrial products were third at 12 million cubic feet. There were 329 primary processing plants operating in Tennessee in 2007. Total receipts amounted to 327 million cubic feet.
