a - Prices received for individual sales may vary significantly from the averages shown in this table because of differences in species mix, quality, road costs, logging and processing costs, size and length of sale, number of bidders, and other related price determinants. Prices for stumpage on National Forest lands are high bid value. Road costs and an allowance for sale-area betterment are included in the bid.
b Does not include cull log prices.
c U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs land is now privately owned and no longer managed by the BIA. That category was dropped in 2002.
