Abstract

In 2010, there were 417 active primary wood-using mills in Minnesota. These mills processed 238.8 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood. There was 226.1 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood harvested from Minnesota forests. The majority of roundwood harvested was pulpwood, accounting for 61 percent of the total. The harvesting of industrial roundwood products generated 110.6 million cubic feet of harvest residues. Primary wood-processing mills generated 1.5 million green tons of mill residues.
