Saw logs were the leading roundwood product at 182 million cubic feet; pulpwood ranked second at 127 million cubic feet; other industrial products were third at 14 million cubic feet. There were 450 primary processing plants operating in Tennessee in 2001. Total receipts amounted to 311 million cubic feet.
