 were included with other land in farms. 



Commercial forest - Lands which are producing or capable of pro- 

 ducing crops of industrial wood and not withdrawn from timber 

 utilization by statute or administrative regulation. It includes 

 cutover areas on which timber species have not been reestablished 

 if these lands have not been converted to non-forest use. The

 industrial wood. It includes both accessible and nonaccessible 

 areas . 



Noncommercial forest - Unproductive forest land incapable of yield- 

 ing crops of industrial wood because of adverse site conditions 

 and productive forest land withdrawn from commercial timber use 

 through statute or administrative regulation. Adverse site condi- 

 tions affecting a favorable annual growth are sub-alpine areas; 

 steep, rocky areas; shallow soils and dry climate, all of which 

 have an impact on the density of the stand. 



Forest land grazed is the acreage of commercial and noncommercial 

 forest that has an understory of grasses and/or forbs that is grazed 

 by domestic livestock. These lands have a dual use that is compatible 

 under planned management.

 as cropland, pasture, range or forest land.

 farmsteads, farm roads, feed lots, ditch banks, fence rows, and 

 small stock ponds and shelterbelts less than 2 acres in size.
