FARMERS

Know What You’re Standing On

As a farmer you know better than anyone that the soil is foundational. But have you ever put a dollar value to it?

Most farmers close on ground without ever knowing what the soil is actually holding. The nutrients are there. The value is there. And if you purchased farmland in the last three years, you may still be able to claim it.

SoilFax samples your ground, runs a full macro and micronutrient analysis through an independent lab, and builds a complete report documenting the excess fertility value. That report goes directly to your tax professional to pursue a Section 180 deduction in the year of purchase, with an average value of $1,700 per acre. You also walk away with variable rate application maps, LiDAR hydrology data, and shapefiles so you can manage what you own from day one.

The SoilFax Report gives farmers:

A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT YOU JUST BOUGHT

The ground you purchased likely holds years of fertility inputs that were built up by the previous owners. SoilFax documents exactly what is in that soil, what it is worth, and puts a verified number behind the asset you now own.

A TAX ADVANTAGE AVAILABLE IN THE YEAR YOU CLOSED

Buyers who purchase farmland may be eligible for a Section 180 deduction averaging $1,700 per acre in the year of purchase. If you closed in the last three years, that window may still be open. Your CPA needs the documentation to apply it. We build it.

INDEPENDENT LAB RESULTS YOUR CPA CAN STAND BEHIND

Every macro and micronutrient measured and verified through an independent lab. The results are objective, defensible, and organized exactly the way your tax professional needs them.

FIELD-READY MAPS AND SHAPEFILES FROM DAY ONE

Variable rate application data and LiDAR hydrology maps give you everything needed to manage fertility inputs across your new ground starting in the very first season.

DOCUMENTATION THAT HOLDS UP

Every sample, lab result, and valuation methodology is retained by SoilFax. If your CPA has questions or an audit ever comes up, the records are there. You are covered long after closing.

Stronger Negotiation Position

Selling land?

You have done the hard work of building up your soil nutrients, which is another asset on your ground. Let us put a value to it so the next owner can capitalize.

Buying land?

Offset some of the purchase price with section 180 tax deductions, when you have the deduction value in hand, you will have more flexibility to close a deal.

We Speak Farmer

We're agronomists first. We understand how farms actually operate; the nutrient cycles, crop rotations, and yield-limiting factors that affect real decisions. That means we don't just give you a value, we give you a plan as well.
