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 land are high bid value. Road costs and an allowance for sale-area betterment are included in the bid.
b - Northern Region includes a small portion of northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and northwestern South Dakota.
