Abstract
In 2009 there were 62 active primary wood-processing mills in Nebraska. These mills processed 4.1 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood. There was 4.09 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood harvested from Nebraska forests. The majority of roundwood harvested was for saw logs, accounting for 72 percent of the total. The harvesting of industrial roundwood products generated 1.5 million cubic feet of harvest residues. Primary wood-processing mills generated 68,000 green tons of mill residues.

INTRODUCTIONNebraska’s wood products manufacturing industry1 employs more than 2,300 workers and has an output of more than $362 million (U.S. Census Bureau 2007). Given the importance of this industry to the economy of Nebraska, this bulletin analyzes recent forest industry trends and reports the results of a detailed study of forest industry, industrial roundwood production, and associated primary mill wood and bark residue in 2009. Such detailed information is necessary for intelligent planning and decisionmaking in wood procurement, economic research, forest resources management, and forest industry development.
The last published report of timber product output and use in Nebraska (Piva and Adams 2008) covered a 2006 study and is used here for comparison. When new surveys are completed, errors and omissions from previous surveys are corrected. As a result of our ongoing efforts to improve the survey’s efficiency and reliability, changes may have been made to the previous survey’s data. All comparisons and analysis in this report are based on the reprocessed data from earlier surveys, which may not match earlier published data. Rows and columns of supporting tables may not sum due to rounding, but data in each table cell are accurately displayed.
Information about the forest resources of Nebraska is available at the FIA Web site: http://nrs.fs.fed.us/fia/data-tools/state-reports/NE.

STUDY METHODSThis study was a cooperative effort between the Nebraska Forest Service (NFS) and the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) unit at the Northern Research Station (NRS) of the U.S. Forest Service. The FIA program is responsible for providing forest resource statistics, including timber product outputs, for all ownerships across the United States.
NFS personnel surveyed all known primary wood-using mills, using questionnaires supplied by NRS. The questionnaires were designed to determine the size and composition of the State’s primary wood-using industry, its use of roundwood, and its generation and disposition of wood residues. Completed questionnaires were sent to NRS for processing and analyses. As part of data processing, all industrial roundwood volumes reported on the questionnaires were converted to standard units of measure using regional conversion factors (Table 1). 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 NRS. To provide a complete assessment of Nebraska’s timber product output, data on roundwood volume processed by mills in Nebraska (receipts) were loaded into a regional timber removals database where they were supplemented with data on roundwood exported outside the State.
Certain terms used in this report -- retained, exports, imports, production, and receipts -- have specialized meanings and relationships unique to the FIA program that surveys timber product output (TPO) (Fig. 1; Appendix).

PRIMARY TIMBER INDUSTRY IN NEBRASKAIndustrial Roundwood
• Nebraska’s primary wood-using industry included 57 sawmills, 1 veneer mill, 3 post, pole, and piling mills, and 1 mill that produced other products (Table 2, Fig. 2).
• Receipts of industrial roundwood at Nebraska primary wood-using mills totaled 4.1 million cubic feet in 2009, a decrease of 19 percent from the 5.1 million cubic feet received in 2006 (Table 3).
• Ninety percent of the industrial roundwood processed by Nebraska’s primary wood-using mills was harvested from forests within the State. Iowa was the largest supplier of out-of-State wood, supplying nearly 10 percent of the total industrial roundwood processed (Table 4).

Figure2.—NebraskaForestInventoryUnitsandapproximatelocationsofprimarywood-usingmills,2009.
• Eighty-nine percent of the industrial roundwood processed by Nebraska primary wood-using mills was composed of hardwood species. Cottonwood alone accounted for 83 percent of the total volume processed. Softwoods accounted for 11 percent of the volume processed, and most of that was cedar/juniper.
• Industrial roundwood production decreased by 33 percent between 2006 and 2009, from 6.1 million cubic feet to 4.1 million cubic feet (Table 5, Fig. 3).
• Ninety-one percent of industrial roundwood harvested in Nebraska was retained for processing by primary wood-using mills in the State. Mills in Wyoming, Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri, and other countries received Nebraska’s industrial roundwood exports (Table 6).
5
• Seventy-five percent of the industrial roundwood production volume was from the cottonwood species group. Ponderosa pine (10 percent), cedar/juniper (10 percent), white oaks (2 percent), and black walnut (2 percent) were other major species groups harvested (Table 7, Fig. 4).
• The production of ponderosa pine for industrial roundwood was down dramatically from 2006, from 1.42 million cubic feet to 404,000 cubic feet in 2009.
• The Eastern Forest Inventory Unit produced 3.5 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood, 87 percent of total State production; the remaining 13 percent was produced in the Western unit.

• Harvesting saw logs accounted for 72 percent of the total industrial roundwood production. Excelsior/shaving mills were the second largest consumer of Nebraska’s industrial roundwood production, consuming 20 percent of the total volume (Table 8, Fig. 5a–Fig. 5d).
Saw Logs
• Receipts at Nebraska sawmills totaled 19.3 million board feet in 2009, a decrease of 16 percent from the 22.9 million board feet received in 2006 (Table 9).
• Saw log production decreased by 37 percent between 2006 and 2009, from 29.5 to 18.5 million board feet.
• Cottonwood accounted for 80 percent of the total volume of saw log production in Nebraska. Other important species groups in saw log production were ponderosa pine (11 percent of total), white oaks, and black walnut (3 percent of total each) (Fig. 6).
• Ponderosa pine saw log production dropped by 76 percent, from 8.2 million board feet in 2006 to 1.9 million board feet in 2009.

Figure6.—Sawlogproductionbyspeciesgroup,Nebraska,2006and2009(PivaandAdams2008).
Other Products
• Excelsior/shavings, at 823,000 cubic feet, was the second most harvested product in Nebraska for 2006. Cottonwood (56 percent of total), cedar/juniper (36 percent), and ponderosa pine (8 percent) were the only species groups that were harvested for excelsior/shavings.
• Veneer log harvests amounted to 319,000 cubic feet (1.4 million board feet). Cottonwood and black walnut were the only species harvested for veneer.
• Posts and other miscellaneous products made up the rest of Nebraska harvests in 2006. These products accounted for less than 1 percent of the total volume of industrial roundwood production.
Timber Removals
• The harvest of industrial roundwood from Nebraska’s forests in 2009 resulted in 5.6 million cubic feet of total wood material cut with 4.1 million cubic feet (73 percent) used for primary wood products and 1.5 million cubic feet (27 percent) left on the ground as harvest residues (Table 10, Fig. 7).
• Growing-stock sources, at 4.55 million cubic feet, was the largest component of removals for industrial roundwood production. Eighty-nine percent of the growing-stock removed was used for products, and the remaining 11 percent was left as logging residue. Sawtimber-size trees accounted for 98 percent of the growing-stock volume used for products.
8
• Non-growing-stock sources of industrial roundwood production accounted for 1.06 million cubic feet of wood material removed. Five percent of this material was used for products; the remainder was left on the ground as logging slash. Seventy-two percent of the non-growing-stock material used for industrial roundwood came from cull trees; the rest of the volume used came from the limbs of growing-stock trees, saplings, dead trees, and nonforest trees.
• Eighty-seven percent of the total growing-stock material removed from Nebraska’s timberland came from the Eastern Forest Inventory Unit, and the remaining 13 percent came from the Western unit (Table 11).
• More than 25 million board feet of sawtimber was removed from Nebraska’s timberland. Cottonwood, ponderosa pine, and cedar/juniper accounted for 96 percent of the total sawtimber volume removed (Table 12).
• Ninety percent of the harvest residue in Nebraska was produced in the Eastern Forest Inventory Unit; the remainder was produced in the Western unit (Table 13).
Harvest Intensity
• In 2009, there were nearly 1.5 million acres of forest land in Nebraska (Meneguzzo 2011). The net volume in live trees on forest land was 2 billion cubic feet. The 5.6 million cubic feet of total wood material removed due to harvesting (Table 10) was less than 1 percent of the total volume (trees at least 5 inches d.b.h.).
• Harvest intensity across the State was light; only five counties had more than 25 cubic feet of industrial roundwood production per acre of forest land (Fig. 8). Some counties in which primary wood-using mills reported receiving roundwood had 0 acres of forest land as estimated by the FIA inventory. Therefore, we were unable to calculate harvest intensity for those counties.
Figure7.—Distributionoftimberremovalsforindustrialroundwoodbysourceofmaterial,Nebraska,2009.
9
• The Eastern unit had the greater harvest intensity of the two Forest Inventory units at 7.14 cubic feet of wood material removed per acre of forest land. The Western unit had less than 1 cubic foot of wood material removed per acre.
Primary Mill Residues
• In converting industrial roundwood into products, Nebraska’s primary wood-using industries generated 68,000 green tons of coarse wood residue (slabs, edgings, and veneer cores), fine wood residues (sawdust and veneer clippings), and bark residue (Table 14, Fig. 9a and Fig. 9b).
• Thirty-nine percent of mill residues generated were used for mulch. Miscellaneous uses, such as livestock bedding or specialty products, consumed 19 percent of mill residues, while industrial and residential fuel, combined, accounted for 18 percent. Twenty-four percent of residues generated went unused (Fig. 10).
• The top disposal method of coarse wood residue and bark was mulch, at 37 percent and 55 percent of the totals, respectively. Industrial fuel was the top disposal method of fine wood residue at 32 percent of the total.

Abstract
In 2009 there were 62 active primary wood-processing mills in Nebraska. These mills processed 4.1 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood. There was 4.09 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood harvested from Nebraska forests. The majority of roundwood harvested was for saw logs, accounting for 72 percent of the total. The harvesting of industrial roundwood products generated 1.5 million cubic feet of harvest residues. Primary wood-processing mills generated 68,000 green tons of mill residues.
Walters, Brian F.; Adams, Dennis M.; Piva, Ronald J. 2012. Nebraska timber industry: an assessment of timber product output and use, 2009. Resour. Bull. NRS-69. Newtown Square, PA: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Northern Research Station. 54 p.
