Interactive planning tool
Calculate the value of knowing every tree.
Use your acreage, planting density and estimated value from better documentation or decisions. The assumptions stay visible because a calculator should clarify the conversation — not win an argument.
Examples may include avoided manual counting, stronger filing documentation, better replant planning, or a capital decision made with a complete inventory. Use your own estimate.

Calculation basis
- Proof Survey rate: $13 per acre.
- Minimum program scope: 1,000 contiguous acres. Smaller inputs are useful for modeling but require separate scoping.
- Tree count is estimated here from the density you enter; the survey produces the measured count.
- The value estimate is yours. Hovrtek does not assume or guarantee savings.
Planning estimate only. This calculator does not guarantee savings, funding, filing sufficiency, insurance coverage, credit approval, or agronomic outcomes. Actual value depends on your operation, local costs and how the inventory is used.
