Abstract: Industrial roundwood production rose from 357 million cubic feet in 1992 to 378 million cubic feet in 1994. Pulpwood accounted for 65% of total roundwood production in Wisconsin--3.1million cords in 1994. Aspen constituted 37% of the roundwood cut for pulpwood. Saw-log production rose from 588 million board feet in 1992 to 645 million board feet in 1994. Principal saw-log species were red oak, aspen, hard maple, white oak, and red pine. Logging residue generated in 1994 was estimated to be 157 million cubic feet. Ninety-eight percent or more of each residue class (coarse, fine, bark) generated at Wisconsin primary mills was used.
