Abstract

In 2009, roundwood output from Tennessee’s forests was 225.1 million cubic feet. Mill byproducts generated from primary manufacturers totaled 81.4 million cubic feet. Seventy-five percent of the plant residues were used primarily for fuel and fiber products. Pulpwood was the leading roundwood product at 115.5 million cubic feet; saw logs ranked second at 105.5 million cubic feet; other industrial products were third at 2.9 million cubic feet. There were 267 primary processing plants operating in Tennessee in 2009. Total receipts amounted to 251.5 million cubic feet.
