FEATURED CROP PROFILE
Alfalfa & hay
Harvested forage exports nutrients from the field; cutting history and fertilizer records help explain the acquired supply.
PRELIMINARY SCREENING OPENNevada
Nevada
fertility asset recovery.
Nevada screening is open for deeded agricultural acreage. Irrigated production ground is evaluated separately from federal permit acreage and native rangeland.
FARMING IN NEVADA
Local crops.
A property-specific opportunity.
Alfalfa, other hay, silage corn and cattle operations.
PRIORITY PROPERTIES FOR REVIEW
Where we would start
Acquired irrigated alfalfa and hay ground with documented inputs; silage acreage serving livestock operations. Separate owned productive fields from leased or native range.
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.
NEVADA 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 hay & alfalfa
Deeded fields with a documented irrigation and fertility program can provide a stronger evidence trail.
Improved pasture & dairy forage
Fertilized, actively managed pasture or forage ground—not grazing permits or native range.
Irrigated crop ground
Onions, potatoes, grains, and other cultivated fields with identifiable inputs and acquisition-period records.
High-acreage deeded farms
Larger eligible acreage can justify deeper review when the agricultural and nutrient history is supportable.
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.
Deeded-acre verification, parcel maps, irrigation records, prior crop and fertilizer history, soil tests, seller records, and independent agronomic review.
STATE-SPECIFIC WATCHOUT
BLM or other federal permit acreage is not treated as acquired deeded land. Unfertilized native range should not be assigned a generic residual-fertility value.
Final tax basis, recovery method, timing, filing amount, and tax effect remain decisions for the client’s qualified tax professional.PUBLIC AGRONOMIC REFERENCEUniversity of Nevada, Reno Extension — Irrigated Alfalfa Fertility ↗
