Start with the property facts and identify whether a residual nutrient opportunity may be worth a closer look.
AGRICULTURAL VALUE • CLEARLY DOCUMENTED
Your soil has
hidden value.
Ash & Acre helps identify, quantify, and document potential residual fertility value in acquired agricultural property—using property-specific facts, current source support, agronomic validation, and independent professional review.
A LEGACY BUILT ON ACCURACY
START WITH A BROAD SCREEN
Is this property worth
a closer look?
Enter five simple facts for a conservative phosphate-and-potash screen. The goal is not to predict a final tax result—it is to help you decide whether a deeper review makes sense.
The full Ash & Acre process evaluates additional nutrients, property evidence, pricing support, field validation, and professional review.

Screening only. Not a tax return position, appraisal, IRS safe harbor, or guarantee. The displayed range uses the Ash & Acre P/K public-data screening architecture and a ±15% sensitivity band; parcel testing, acquisition evidence, purchase-price/basis review, and CPA/tax review can materially change the result.
MORE ROOM FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
WHY IT MATTERS
Keep more of what you’ve built
working for you.
When the facts support a legitimate residual-fertility opportunity, more resources may be able to stay with the operation instead of leaving it.
That can create room to reinvest, strengthen the business, prepare for the next season, or simply breathe a little easier. The opportunity still has to be supported—which is why the work moves from a broad screen to field evidence and professional review.

When more resources remain available, the next question is how those dollars can best serve the client’s business and long-term goals.
THE ASH & ACRE APPROACH
Find value. Protect what matters.
Put more to work.
Residual nutrient work is often the starting point, not the finish line. When it makes sense, we can also look at protection costs and what available dollars could do next.
Residual nutrient opportunity
Identify and document potential residual fertility value in acquired agricultural property so a qualified tax professional can determine the appropriate tax treatment.
Insurance review
Review current coverage and cost with appropriately licensed professionals, looking for unnecessary expense, gaps, or overlap while keeping the protection the client actually needs in place.
Long-term financial strategies
When additional cash flow is available, consider annuity strategies for future income and indexed universal life insurance for long-term protection and cash-value accumulation, when appropriate for the client.
The point isn’t simply to find savings. It’s to help clients make thoughtful decisions about what those savings can do next.
Talk Through the Whole PictureInsurance and annuity products are offered only through appropriately licensed professionals and are subject to availability, suitability, underwriting, product terms, and jurisdiction. Indexed universal life is life insurance, not a direct investment in a market index. Product guarantees depend on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability.
THE PROCESS
Start with the facts.
Replace assumptions with evidence.
The work becomes more specific as it moves forward—from a broad screen, to the actual property, to physical soil evidence, to professional review.
Property Profile
Begin with the acquisition, acreage, prior use, crop or growing history, irrigation, and other facts that shape the opportunity.
Nutrient Review
Build a preliminary picture using documented nutrient assumptions, pricing support, and the information available for the property.
Grounded in the Actual Soil
Physical soil samples, laboratory results, and agronomic interpretation help confirm or replace modeled quantities with parcel-specific evidence.
Professional Review
The agronomic work supports the analysis, and qualified tax professionals determine the final tax treatment and filing position.
THE NUMBER SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
WHY ACCURACY MATTERS
The number should be right.
Not just big.
A number that is too aggressive can create unnecessary risk. A number that is too conservative can leave legitimate value overlooked.
Our goal is to arrive at the most supportable number the facts and evidence justify—using physical soil evidence, documented sources, agronomic interpretation, and professional review.
Questions about the approach? →Physical samples and laboratory analysis help ground the work in the property itself.
Key assumptions, pricing, and source support remain traceable as the analysis develops.
Agronomic evidence strengthens the work; qualified tax professionals control the final tax position.
