Nebraska's Timber Industry-An Assessment of Timber Product Output and Use, 2006

Nebraska's wood products manufacturing industry employs more than 2,200 workers with an output of approximately $286 million (U.S. Census Bureau 2002). In this bulletin we discuss recent Nebraska forest industry trends and report the results of a detailed study of the forest industry, industrial roundwood production, and associated primary mill wood and bark residue in Nebraska in 2006. Such detailed information is necessary for intelligent planning and decision making in wood procurement, forest resources management, and forest industry development. Likewise, researchers need current forest industry and industrial roundwood information for planning projects.
