Income Estimates by County for Timber Harvesting in North Carolina

The economic impact timber production has on North Carolina's economy is significant. Income Estimates by County for Timber Harvesting in North Carolina is compiled from the following sources, US Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis Data, Timber Products Output Survey, and Timber Mart-South. These estimates provide information on both stumpage value and delivered value for timber harvested and delivered to mills. Stumpage value is an estimate of the price paid to the landowner for standing timber. This value is derived from an average stumpage price for the region in which the county is located and estimated harvest level for the county. Delivered value is the price paid to the timber buyer upon delivery of timber to the mill. This value is derived from an average delivered price for the region in which the county is located and estimated harvest level for the county.
