Stumpage prices by the state's five reporting areas with state averages for the current quarter, the previous quarter and a year ago; sawtimber in dollars per MBF Doyle, cordwood products in dollars per standard cord.

The report's own words: "This report is intended to serve only as a guide for timber stumpage prices and to monitor market trends. It should not be used to determine the fair market value of a specific timber sale." Note the pine sawtimber state average printed for this quarter ($62.48) is far below the previous quarter ($168.16); it is reproduced as printed, so check the PDF before relying on it.
