The utilization of whole-tree chips as an energy source has resulted in an increase in production of 12.4 M tons in 1975 from 483 whole-tree chippers to 18.7 M tons in 1979 from 732 machines. The whole-tree harvesting system, while it is the costliest method of producing chips in terms of capital investment, is by far the most productive method on a man-day basis.
