3 FOREWORD This bulletin reports the findings of a survey of all primary wood-using mills in Kansas in 23 and details the industry s size and composition, its use of roundwood, and its generation and disposition of wood residues. Such detailed information is necessary for intelligent planning and decisionmaking in wood procurement, forest resource management, forest industry development, and forest research. Special thanks are given to primary wood-using firms that responded to the survey and to the Kansas Forest Service, Kansas State University, for canvassing the respondents. Their cooperation is greatly appreciated. All volumes are reported in product-specific standard units and/or cubic feet. Volumes reported by mills in nonstandard units were converted to standard units using regional conversion factors. Reported trends and changes in the primary wood-using industry in Kansas are based on comparisons with previous surveys of the State s primary woodusing industry conducted in 198, 1993, and Row and column data of tables may not sum due to rounding, but data in each table cell are accurately displayed.

7 Kansas Timber Industry An Assessment of Timber Product Output and Use, 23 William H. Reading, IV and David L. Bruton HIGHLIGHTS Primary Wood-Using Industry The number of mills processing more than 1 million board feet per year decreased from five in 1998 to three in 23 (table 1). The volume of industrial roundwood received by mills in Kansas in 23 was 2,594 thousand cubic feet a 16-percent reduction from 1998 (table 2). While overall roundwood receipts fell from 1998 levels, receipts by mills classified as small (less than 1 thousand board feet (MBF)/year) increased from 1998 levels (fig. 1). Kansas forest lands provided 97 percent of the roundwood received by the State s mills in 23, up from 86 percent in This increase is mainly due to a drop in roundwood imported from Missouri. Most saw logs used by Kansas mills were grown in Kansas. The remaining saw logs were from Missouri and Oklahoma (fig. 2). About the Authors: William H. Reading, IV, Forester, received a B.S. in forest management from Northern Arizona University in 1988 and an M.S. in forestry/forest mensuration in 1992 from the same institution. He worked as a consultant forester from 1992 to September 2, when he joined the USDA Forest Service. He has worked for the Forest Inventory and Analysis unit at the North Central Research Station since then. David L. Bruton, Utilization and Marketing Forester, Kansas Forest Service, received a B.S. in forest management from the University of Missouri-Columbia in He joined the Kansas Forest Service in Large/Medium Small 3, 2,5 Thousand board feet 2, 1,5 1, 5 Figure 1.

Thousand cubic feet 2,5 2, 1,5 1, 5 Kansas Missouri Oklahoma State of origin The Northeastern and Southeastern Forest Survey Units contain most of the primary mills in the State (fig. 3). The proportion of roundwood going to mills in the three Forest Survey Units changed significantly between the 1998 and 23 surveys (fig. 4). Receipts by mills in the Northeastern Unit fell by 45 percent, Southeastern Unit receipts fell by 12 percent, and Western Unit receipts increased by 169 percent. During the same period, the net loss of one large and one medium mill occurred. Industrial Roundwood Production In 23, industrial roundwood production was 3,287 thousand cubic feet an increase of 1 percent over 1998 (table 3). Saw log production, by far the largest component of production, increased by 2 percent between 1998 and 23 from 19,819 MBF to 2,186 MBF (table 5). With the net volume of sawtimber on Kansas timberland currently estimated to be 5,287,676 MBF (Moser et al. 26), this equates to an annual removal of just.38 percent. Most of the roundwood production from Kansas forests was used by Kansas mills (77 percent) with the remainder going to Missouri (12 percent), Nebraska (1 percent), and other mills outside of the Northern Region of the Forest Service (2 percent) (fig. 5). Exports of saw logs to other States increased by 31 percent from 1998 to The Southeastern Forest Survey Unit continues to produce the majority of the saw logs harvested in Kansas. The Southeastern Unit produced 58 percent of production followed by the Northeastern Unit (24 percent) and the Western Unit (18 percent) (fig. 6). Based on current forest inventory data, the current sawtimber production levels are not well correlated with sawtimber inventory figures at the Survey Unit level. The Northeastern Unit contains 44 percent of the standing sawtimber, the Southeastern Unit contains 37 percent, and the Western Unit contains 19 percent (fig. 7).

The distribution of saw log production by species/species group changed from 1998 to 23 (fig. 8). Notably, ash increased from 4 percent to 9 percent, black walnut increased from 7 percent to 14 percent, hackberry decreased from 9 percent to 4 percent, and white oak decreased from 23 percent to 18 percent Percent Figure 8.

Residues classified as being used for miscellaneous uses dropped from 56 percent in 1998 to 37 percent in 23. The portion of mill residues used for fiber products rose from 16 percent in 1998 to 24 percent in 23. The portion of mill residues used for other purposes was relatively unchanged between 1998 and 23. Fiber products 24% Charcoal 1% Industrial fuel 3% Not used 29% Domestic fuel 6% Figure 9.

13 APPENDIX STUDY METHODS This study was a cooperative effort of the Kansas Forest Service (KFS) and the North Central Research Station (NCRS) of the USDA Forest Service. KFS used mail questionnaires supplied by NCRS that were designed to determine the size and composition of the State s primary wood-using mills, and followed up with additional mailings, telephone, and personal contacts until a 1-percent response was achieved. Completed questionnaires were sent to NCRS for editing and processing. As part of data editing and processing, all industrial roundwood volumes reported on the questionnaires were converted to standard units of measure using regional conversion factors. Timber removals by source of material and harvest residues generated during logging were estimated from standard product volumes using factors developed from logging utilization studies previously conducted by NCRS. Finalized data on the State s industrial roundwood receipts were loaded into a regional timber removals database where they were supplemented with data on out-of-state uses of Kansas roundwood to provide a complete assessment of the State s timber product output. DEFINITION OF TERMS Board foot Unit of measure applied to roundwood. It relates to lumber that is 1 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 1 inch thick (or its volume equivalent). Central stem The portion of a tree between a 1-foot stump and the minimum 4.-inch top diameter outside bark or the point where the central stem breaks into limbs, all of which are less than 4. inches diameter outside bark. Coarse mill residue Wood residue suitable for chipping such as slabs, edgings, and veneer cores. Commercial species Tree species presently or prospectively suitable for industrial wood products. (Note: Excludes species of typically small size, poor form, or inferior quality such as hophornbeam, Osage-orange, and redbud.) Cull removals Net volume of rough and rotten trees, plus the net volume in sections of the central stem of growing-stock trees that do not meet regional merchantability standards, harvested for industrial roundwood products. Dead removals Net volume of dead trees harvested for industrial roundwood products. Diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) The diameter outside bark at 4.5 feet above the forest floor on the uphill side of the tree. For determining breast height, the forest floor includes the duff layer that may be present, but does not include unincorporated woody debris that may rise above the ground line. Doyle scale Log rule based on a mathematical formula of log diameter and length. Doyle scale tends to underscale small diameter logs and overscale large diameter logs. Fine mill residue Wood residue not suitable for chipping such as sawdust and veneer clippings. 7

14 Forest land Land at least 1 percent stocked by forest trees of any size, or formerly having had such tree cover, and not currently developed for nonforest use. (Note: Stocking is measured by comparing specified standards with basal area and/or number of trees, age or size, and spacing.) The minimum area for classification of forest land is 1 acre. Roadside, streamside, and shelterbelt strips of timber must have a crown width of at least 12 feet to qualify as forest land. Unimproved roads and trails or clearings in forest areas shall be classed as forest if less than 12 feet wide. Streams and other bodies of water shall be classed as forest if less than 3 feet wide. Growing-stock removals The volume of growing stock removed from the timberland inventory by harvesting industrial roundwood products. (Note: Includes sawtimber removals, poletimber removals, and logging residues.) Growing-stock tree A live timberland tree of commercial species that contains at least one 12- foot saw log or two saw logs 8 feet or longer meeting minimum log/tree grade requirements, now or prospectively, and meeting specified standards of size, quality, and merchantability. At least one-third of the gross board-foot volume must be merchantable material and at least 5 percent sound at any point. (Note: Excludes rough, rotten, and dead trees.) Growing-stock volume Net volume of growing-stock trees 5. inches d.b.h. and over, from 1 foot above the ground to a minimum 4.-inch top diameter outside bark of the central stem or to the point where the central stem breaks into limbs. Hardwoods Dicotyledonous trees, usually broad-leaved and deciduous. Harvest residues The total net volume of unused portions of trees cut or killed by logging. (Note: Includes both logging residues and logging slash.) Industrial roundwood production The quantity of industrial roundwood harvested in a geographic area. Industrial roundwood products Saw logs, pulpwood, veneer logs, poles, commercial posts, piling, cooperage logs, particleboard bolts, shaving bolts, lath bolts, charcoal bolts, and chips from roundwood used for fuel, pulp, or board products. Industrial roundwood receipts The quantity of industrial roundwood received by commercial mills in a geographic area. International 1/4-inch scale A log rule or formula for estimating the board-foot volume of logs, allowing one-half inch of taper for each 4-foot length. The rule appears in a number of forms that allow for kerf. In this form, one-fourth inch of kerf is assumed. This rule is used as the USDA Forest Service standard log rule in the Eastern United States. Limbwood removals Net volume of all portions of a tree other than the central stem (including forks, large limbs, tops, and stumps) harvested for industrial roundwood products. Logging residue Net volume of unused portions of the merchantable central stem of growingstock trees cut or killed by logging. Logging slash Net volume of unused portions of the unmerchantable (non-growing-stock) sections of trees cut or killed by logging. Merchantable sections Sections of the central stem of growing-stock trees that meet either pulpwood or saw log specifications. 8 Net volume Gross volume less deductions for rot, sweep, or other defects affecting use for roundwood products.

15 Noncommercial species Tree species of typically small size, poor form, or inferior quality that normally do not develop into trees suitable for industrial roundwood products. Nonforest land Land that has never supported forests, and land formerly forested where use for timber management is precluded by development for other uses. (Note: Includes areas used for crops, improved pasture, residential areas, city parks, improved roads of any width and adjoining clearings, powerline clearings of any width, and 1- to 39.9-acre areas of water classified by the Bureau of the Census as land. If intermingled in forest areas, improved roads and nonforest strips must be more than 12 feet wide and more than 1 acre to qualify as non-forest land.) Nonforest land removals Net volume of trees on nonforest lands harvested for industrial roundwood products. Poletimber A growing-stock tree at least 5. inches d.b.h. but smaller than sawtimber size (9. inches d.b.h. for softwoods, 11. inches d.b.h. for hardwoods). Poletimber removals Net volume in the merchantable central stem of poletimber trees harvested for industrial roundwood products. Primary wood-using mills Mills receiving roundwood or chips from roundwood for processing into products. Primary wood-using mill residue Wood materials (coarse and fine) and bark generated at manufacturing plants from roundwood processed into principal products. These residues include wood products (byproducts) obtained incidental to production of principal products and wood materials not utilized for some byproduct. Rotten tree A tree that does not meet regional merchantability standards because of excessive unsound cull. Rough tree A tree that does not meet regional merchantability standards because of excessive sound cull. Includes noncommercial tree species. Roundwood Logs, bolts, or other round sections cut from trees (including chips from roundwood). Sapling A live tree between 1. and 5. inches d.b.h. Sapling removals Net volume in saplings harvested for industrial roundwood products. Saw log A log meeting minimum standards of diameter, length, and defect, sound and straight, and with a minimum diameter outside bark of 7. inches for softwoods and 9. inches for hardwoods, or other combinations of size and defect specified by regional standards. Saw log portion That portion of the central stem of sawtimber trees between the stump and the saw log top. Saw log top The point on the central stem of sawtimber trees above which a saw log cannot be produced. The minimum saw log top is 7. inches d.o.b. for softwoods and 9. inches d.o.b. for hardwoods. Sawtimber tree A growing-stock tree containing at least a 12-foot saw log or two noncontiguous saw logs 8 feet or longer, and meeting regional specifications for freedom from defect. Softwoods must be at least 9. inches d.b.h. and hardwoods must be at least 11. inches d.b.h. Softwoods Coniferous trees, usually evergreen, having needles or scale-like leaves. 9

16 Timberland Forest land that is producing, or is capable of producing, in excess of 2 cubic feet per acre per year of industrial roundwood products under natural conditions, is not withdrawn from timber utilization by statute or administrative regulation, and is not associated with urban or rural development. Timber product output The volume of roundwood products produced from an area s forests. Timber removals The total net volume of trees removed for industrial roundwood products or left on the ground as harvest residues. Tree A woody plant usually having one or more perennial stems, a more or less definitely formed crown of foliage, and a height of at least 12 feet at maturity. Upper stem portion That portion of the central stem of sawtimber trees between the saw log top and the minimum top diameter of 4. inches outside bark or to the point where the central stem breaks into limbs. Veneer log Logs to be used in the production of plywood, finished panels, or veneer sheets, both rotary cut and sliced.
