The results of a cruise are reported by stand on a per-acre and per-stand basis. Generally, the following are reported for each stand: acres, species, product class (sawtimber, pulpwood, chip-n-saw), tree count, basal area (gives an idea of stand occupancy), and volume (tons and/or board feet).
Once a cruise report has been created, the value of each stand may be estimated. Values for each product class may be estimated based on industry reports or recent, neighboring sales, whichever is more appropriate for the landowner and their objectives. Future values may also be estimated if a stand is to be harvested later.
