Boost the Value of Your Land with Legacy Nutrient Deductions
United Country Real
Estate is proud to announce its new partnership with Boa Safra Ag, a nationwide leader in
farm-based tax solutions. Together, we’re helping landowners and agricultural
investors across the U.S. access one of the most underutilized tax deductions
in rural real estate: Legacy
Nutrient Deductions™ (LNDs).
What Are Legacy Nutrient Deductions™?
LNDs are a little-known deduction based on the existing
fertility value in the soil at the time the property was acquired –either by
purchase or inheritance. These values, often overlooked, can result in
substantial federal tax deductions for qualifying landowners.
“My entire life has been spent in and around agriculture,
and I had never heard of this,” President of Auction Services Shawn Terrel said
in an article from
The Land Report. “I found that highly interesting. If it’s been
around that long and people haven’t heard about it, then it’s being grossly
underutilized.”
Who Qualifies for Legacy Nutrient Deductions™?
Landowners who bought or inherited land since the early
2000s and use it for crop, livestock, timber production or comparable agriculture
uses may qualify. To be eligible, landowners must meet the following criteria:
·
The land was purchased or inherited since 2000.
·
It is currently used for agricultural or timber
production.
·
The property has a land basis of at least $500
per acre.
With Boa Safra’s assistance, eligible landowners have
unlocked an average of $1,700 per acre in deductions with the potential to
recover 10-15% of their total real estate investment through tax savings.
Their streamlined process includes:
·
Online submission – A quick request to
gets things started.
·
DocuSign Agreement – Authorizes soil
testing and analysis.
·
Soil Sampling – In-field sample
collection and historical data review.
·
Data Analytics – Expert analysis to
quantify soil nutrient values.
·
IRS-Ready Report – A detailed Legacy
Nutrient Deductions™ report.
The total cost is approximately $40 per acre, generating a
return on investment of more than 4,000% in many cases.

this [an] industry standard than by partnering with the largest brokerage firm

Deductions and help it achieve a greater scale.”
