NOVEMBER 2010 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2011 June 1, 2011 PRICES PAID BY ILLINOIS TIMBER PRODUCERS NOVEMBER 2010 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2011 This report is prepared by the Illinois Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources - Division of Forestry. The cooperation of those timber buyers and forestry consultants who participated in the survey is greatly appreciated. Illinois is divided into three price-reporting zones, based on timber resources, similarity, utilization standards and practices, and soil types. Zone 1 is the Southern Unit; Zone 2, the Claypan Unit; and Zone 3, the Prairie Unit. Ranges of prices for each zone are shown on the back of this report. Of the timber buyers reporting volume of their operations, 35% indicated their volume was 500 thousand board feet or more. This report can be used only as a general guide for determining market value of timber. General market and economic conditions are the major price-determining factors. Certain local considerations such as accessibility, site and terrain, distance to market, size of sale, and tree size and quality also affect the price paid. For technical, marketing, or management assistance, contact your local State Forester, or the Division of Forestry at Illinois Department of Natural Resources, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield, Illinois 62702.
