FEATURED CROP PROFILE
Lettuce & alfalfa
Irrigation water, salinity and repeated harvests belong in the field review; elevated salts are not automatically valuable fertility.
PRELIMINARY SCREENING OPENArizona
Arizona
fertility asset recovery.
Arizona screening is open in the controlled preliminary workflow. Irrigation, salinity, soil chemistry, and crop history are central to deciding whether a property should advance.
FARMING IN ARIZONA
Local crops.
A property-specific opportunity.
Lettuce, alfalfa, cotton, wheat and other irrigated crops.
PRIORITY PROPERTIES FOR REVIEW
Where we would start
Acquired irrigated vegetable, cotton and forage fields with water, crop and fertilizer records. Exclude post-acquisition inputs from the acquired inventory.
Crop context: USDA NASS state overview. Review priorities are Ash & Acre screening judgments, not USDA recommendations or eligibility rankings.

Open for screening.
Evidence controls the outcome.
Every Ash & Acre state uses the same public standard. We can begin the preliminary work; parcel-specific agronomy and the client’s tax professional remain required for any final position.
The state workflow is open for property facts, acquisition review, preliminary modeling, and case coordination.
A full evidence track commonly takes 4–8 weeks after engagement, depending on records, sampling, lab timing, agronomy, and tax review.
Eligible acreage, established fertilization, acquisition evidence, and parcel-specific soil support usually create a stronger reason to investigate.
ARIZONA OPPORTUNITY PROFILES
Where the first look
may be most worthwhile.
These are screening priorities—not promises of qualification or deduction size. The property’s facts, evidence, and professional review determine whether an opportunity is supportable.
Irrigated vegetables
Leafy greens, melons, and other intensively managed ground with defined fields and input records.
Cotton & irrigated row crops
Productive acreage with crop rotations, fertilizer programs, and acquisition-period documentation.
Alfalfa & dairy forage
Irrigated forage ground with an identifiable nutrient and crop-removal history.
Citrus, dates & specialty crops
Permanent-crop acreage with block, irrigation, and soil-management records.
What can support a larger potential opportunity?
More eligible acquired acres, an established nutrient-intensive history, repeated fertilizer or amendment applications, reliable records, and parcel-specific evidence can all matter. The state name or crop label alone does not determine a deduction.
EVIDENCE TO GATHER
Build the file
around the land.
Water regime and quality, crop history, salinity context, fertilizer records, soil tests, parcel maps, acquisition records, and Arizona agronomy.
STATE-SPECIFIC WATCHOUT
Salinity, irrigation-water quality, and crop-specific laboratory methods can materially change interpretation. State or county alone never creates a fertility multiplier.
Final tax basis, recovery method, timing, filing amount, and tax effect remain decisions for the client’s qualified tax professional.PUBLIC AGRONOMIC REFERENCEUniversity of Arizona Cooperative Extension ↗

Public references provide context. Ash & Acre does not apply an automatic state or county multiplier, and public averages do not replace parcel evidence.
