A member of Savills describes accounting methods used to distinguish the value of their client`s forestry crop from the often arbitrary total forest valuation . An essential ingredient for success is maintenance of continuously updated crop records on the computer models created for each client. These models are used for timber over 20 years old with the crop which is less than 20 years old assessed at its insurance value. The overall change in crop value can be deduced to show an annual rate of return and the forest`s true performance. Includes a worked example for 100 hectares of Sitka spruce.
