Property-specific analysis
Field evidence and agricultural history help establish what can be supported for your land.
FOR COMMERCIAL FARMERS & GROWERS
Your land came
with more than
acres.
Fertility already in the soil at acquisition may carry value worth reviewing. We help document it, so your CPA can evaluate the tax opportunity.

THE IDEA, IN ONE PICTURE
Some of what you bought
was below the surface.
Prior fertilizer applications may leave nutrients in the ground. Our specialists evaluate the portion supported by the soil evidence, farm history, and acquisition date.
The question: what qualifying residual fertility, if any, was already there when you took ownership?

The starting point
for evaluation
The portion above a supported threshold needs further analysis—not automatic tax treatment.
Illustrative phosphorus example only. Actual thresholds vary by crop, field, and lab method. A soil test alone does not establish acquisition-date value or a deduction.

BUILT AROUND WORKING LANDIS YOUR OPERATION A FIT?
Start with the land
you acquired.
- You own agricultural land with a history of production.
- You purchased or inherited it, including acquisitions back to 2010.
- You have soil tests or records that may support a historical review.
Multiple parcels, acquisition dates, or ownership entities? Tell us how the operation is structured. We’ll help organize the review.
What if I don’t have old soil tests?
Share the records you do have. The team can assess whether reconstruction is feasible and whether additional testing would help. Some properties will not have enough support to proceed.
Is a valuation the same as tax savings?
No. A nutrient valuation is evidence for your CPA’s review. Any deduction, its timing, and the resulting tax benefit depend on your circumstances and your CPA’s analysis.
START A FARM REVIEW
Put your land on the review list.
Start with the acres you own, when you acquired them, and how they have been farmed. We’ll help identify the records needed for a meaningful review.
