Turn Fertility in Your Soil into Real Tax Savings.
The fertility already present in your soil at the time of purchase may qualify as a depreciable asset under IRS guidelines.
Farm Advisors helps agricultural landowners unlock this often-overlooked tax deduction using a science-backed valuation process built on agronomic data and IRS-supported methodology.
Why It Matters
You may already be entitled to a tax deduction based on the fertility in your soil.
When you acquire farmland, the fertility already in the soil doesn’t just help your crops — it may count as a depreciable asset under the tax code.
But most landowners (and even many advisors) don’t realize they can deduct that value. That’s where we come in.
At Farm Advisors, we:
Identify whether your land holds excess fertility at the time of acquisition
Calculate its value using a rigorous, science-backed approach
Deliver a clean, defensible report that supports a long-term tax deduction
For many landowners, this means unlocking real tax savings from fields they’ve already bought — with no change to operations and no unnecessary complexity.
