Generally, any land that has been purchased or inherited within the last 15 years and is currently used—or intended to be used—for active agricultural production purposes, including cropland, ranchland, pasture, or timberland.

Raider Soil Solutions manages the entire technical and documentation process, including:

• Precision field mapping
• Physical soil sample collection
• Laboratory nutrient analysis
• Soil nutrient valuation calculations
• A CPA-ready final report designed for tax filing and record retention

We work alongside your CPA to ensure the documentation aligns with tax reporting requirements.

$1,500 per acre X 35% (20% Federal income tax rate + 15% Self-employment tax rate) = Net tax benefit of $525 per acre.

That would bring the out-of-pocket expense of buying the land below $3,000, without changing how the land is farmed.

(Actual tax benefits vary by taxpayer—consult your CPA for exact figures.)
