Learn how landowners can unlock thousands in tax savings through United Country Real Estate’s partnership with Boa Safra Ag.

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.

Boa Safra Ag is the only national firm focused solely on soil fertility-based deductions with a proven track record of more than 5,000 successful client projects and a 100% audit success rate. From soil sampling to IRS-compliant reporting, the team handles every step smoothly and precisely.

United Country has amazing reach, and can take Legacy Nutrient Deductions and help it achieve a greater scale.”
