Just as a warning this will be the first of many questions. 

Is there a standard formula to determine tonnage of tree length longleaf or loblolly in a stack?

You can scale logs by measuring the diameter of the small end and the length.  There are various scales that give different results so use the one that your local mills use.  If the logs are all the same length, measure the ends and put the measurements on a tally sheet. Then use a table or calculator program to give results.  Weight depends on the species but those calculators and tables are also available.

Here is a calculator to give the results:

No need to go outside the Forestry Forum for weight or volume calculators, just use the FF toolbox for that and much more. Red toolbox is in the left hand column under the list of our dedicated sponsors. 

and welcome to the Forestry Forum.

I don't have anything in my left column anymore.  My Red Toolbox is in the tool bar at the top of the page.

It should be there on desktop

My tool box is at the bottom on the left

Some of the page arrangement depends up the amount of page magnification that you have set on your device.  At least mine does.  Reduce the magnification and the left margin Sponsors reappear.
