Timber Volume Hits Low in Northern Region Forests
In fiscal year 1975 the Northern Region National Forests harvested 939 million board feet of timber, down 10 percent from 1974, with 974 million board feet sold across 3 084 sales. Uncut volume under contract stood at 2 980 million board feet, about three years of demand, indicating an imbalance with mill needs and a slack market. John R Milodragovich cited low spirits in the timber and wood products industry as a contributing factor.
