A quarterly summary of timber-price trends, reporting coverage and state timber-sale activity. Detailed prices and calculations are available to subscribers.

The MI DNR stumpage price report for July to September 2007 is out: 370 price lines across 16 of 80 management units and 25 species.

The Michigan Timber Index for sawtimber has no reading for this quarter; pulpwood moved up.

There is no quarter a year earlier on the record to compare with, so nothing is listed as moved.

Of the 278 state sales opened this quarter, 232 sold and 46 drew no bid (17%), with 3.0 bidders on a sold sale on average.

The previous quarter (Apr–Jun 2007) opened 290 sales, 76 no-bid (26%); the same quarter a year earlier (Jul–Sep 2006) opened 137, 38 no-bid (28%).
