Abstract

In 2001, roundwood output from Tennessee's forests was 325 million cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers totaled 125 million cubic feet. Seventy-one percent of the plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Saw logs were the leading roundwood product at 182 million cubic feet; pulpwood ranked second at 127 million cubic feet; other industrial products were third at 14 million cubic feet. There were 450 primary processing plants operating in Tennessee in 2001. Total receipts amounted to 311 million cubic feet.
