We help landowners uncover tax deductions for cropland and ranchland.

Through our Legacy Nutrient Deduction™ service, our data, analytics, and reporting helps maximize income tax deductions for ag land in all 50 states.

If you purchased or inherited farmland since the early 2000s, you may qualify for tax deductions based on nutrients found on your farm or ranch.

$1,700/acre average savings

How is this possible? Owners of agricultural properties tend to be deeply experienced with capturing accelerated deductions on capital items such as fencing, irrigation, and structures to improve the tax efficiency of their holdings. However, very few are aware that they can capture soil fertility-related deductions as well.

This allows for an overlooked farm tax deduction that is determined according to the levels of excess fertility in your recently acquired soil. Savings related to recently acquired farmland can be substantial.

Boa Safra’s 3 Step Process: Understand how we assess legacy nutrients, assign value to the nutrients, and then create a report that you can share with your financial advisor.

Boa Safra serves a variety of clients and channel partners.

Federal tax code allows purchasers of agricultural land to depreciate the legacy value of fertilizer ingredients that are present in their soil at the time of acquisition in the same way as other capital items such as fencing, irrigation equipment, or structures. In order to capture these deductions, owners need to quantify the volume and value of legacy nutrients in their soils. Boa Safra specializes in both.

The Results Speak for Themselves

"I have been farming for a long time, and it was hard for me to understand this process, I thought if it was real, I would have already known about it. The truth is it’s real, it works, and the Boa Safra team is very professional. The whole process was easy and 100% turnkey. My only regret is not doing this sooner. Call these guys, you will be happy you did.”
