Agricultural economists in Madison report Wisconsin farm woodlots total 3.4 million acres, about one million acres less than prior estimates. Grazing livestock and shading reduced woodland classification, while fuel wood value remains high at about 18 million dollars, with 40 percent of farmers using their own woodlot for fuel. The western and southwestern hills and northern central regions supply most timber.
