FEATURED CROP PROFILE
Wheat & sorghum
Dryland and irrigated fields need different yield and removal assumptions; rotations are more informative than a statewide average.
PRELIMINARY SCREENING OPENKansas
Kansas
fertility asset recovery.
Kansas screening is open in the controlled preliminary workflow. The review distinguishes dryland, irrigated, forage, and native-range histories before estimating an opportunity.
FARMING IN KANSAS
Local crops.
A property-specific opportunity.
Wheat, corn, sorghum, soybeans, hay and cattle operations.
PRIORITY PROPERTIES FOR REVIEW
Where we would start
Acquired fertilized grain fields and improved forage with documented inputs. Keep native pasture and leased acreage separate from acquired productive ground.
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.
KANSAS 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.
Wheat
Large crop units with repeated nutrient programs, yield history, and clear field records.
Corn & grain sorghum
Managed row-crop acreage with crop-specific soil testing and fertilizer history.
Irrigated row crops
Fields with defined water and nutrient management—not an automatic irrigation multiplier.
Alfalfa & improved pasture
Fertilized forage ground supported by actual improvement and crop-removal 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.
Dryland/irrigated use, rotations, fertilizer and lime records, soil tests, grazing or crop-removal history, acquisition documents, and Kansas agronomy.
STATE-SPECIFIC WATCHOUT
Native or unfertilized range is not treated like improved pasture. Dryland and irrigated systems require different agronomic context.
Final tax basis, recovery method, timing, filing amount, and tax effect remain decisions for the client’s qualified tax professional.PUBLIC AGRONOMIC REFERENCEKansas State University — Nutrient Recommendations ↗

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