The Problem
When farmers purchase agricultural land, they're not just buying dirt—they're buying accumulated soil fertility that has real financial value. However, most farms never capture these tax benefits because:
- Manual calculation of soil nutrient values is time-consuming and error-prone
- Most CPAs lack agricultural expertise to properly value soil nutrients
- No standardized tools exist to generate IRS-compliant depreciation schedules
- Tracking fertilizer applications and their impact on valuations is complex
- Linking soil test results to tax deductions requires specialized knowledge
Result: Farmers overpay taxes by tens of thousands of dollars because they can't properly depreciate their soil nutrient assets.

Land Purchase Depreciation
Scenario:
Farmer buys 160-acre farm for $1.2M. Soil tests show high P and K from previous owner's management.
Result:
AgWise calculates $47,000 in residual nutrient value. Under IRC §180, farmer deducts entire amount in year 1, saving $9,400+ in federal taxes (20% bracket).
Estate Planning & Inheritance
Scenario:
Farm passes to next generation. Heirs need step-up basis documentation for soil nutrient assets.
Result:
AgWise generates valuation at date of death, establishing depreciable basis for heirs. Professional report supports estate tax filing.
Multi-Parcel Portfolio
Scenario:
Agricultural investor owns 12 parcels across 3 states. Needs consolidated nutrient tracking.
Result:
Platform tracks all parcels, soil tests, and valuations in one dashboard. Generate individual or combined reports for each tax year.
CPA Agricultural Practice
Scenario:
CPA with 40 farm clients wants to offer soil nutrient depreciation services.
