Sydney Charleston and Steve Witt built Ash & Acre to help agricultural landowners investigate potential residual nutrient value and move a supportable opportunity through an organized agronomic and tax-review process.
WHY ASH & ACRE EXISTS
When an operation is tightening costs, every overlooked source of value matters. Ash & Acre focuses on a question many agricultural landowners have never been asked: when you acquired the property, was there supportable residual nutrient value in the soil that deserves a closer look?
We built the company to take that question seriously—from property history and nutrient modeling to field evidence, agronomist review, pricing support, acquisition documentation, and the final handoff to the client's tax professional.
Our role is to keep the process moving, keep the evidence organized, and keep the farmer at the center of the work.
“We find the opportunity. Then we prove the number.”THE ASH & ACRE STANDARD
MEET THE FOUNDERS
CO-FOUNDER • CLIENT STRATEGY & EXPERIENCE
Sydney leads the client experience around Ash & Acre's agricultural property reviews. She focuses on making a complex process understandable, keeping communication moving between the people involved, and making sure the farmer knows what comes next.
Her standard is that clients should feel heard, understand the process, and know which questions belong with Ash & Acre, the agronomist, and the tax professional.
