United Country Real Estate is excited to announce our partnership with Boa Safra Ag, a beneficial connection that allows our agents, brokers and auctioneers to offer powerful, tax-saving opportunities to our clients. Through a clever use of a little-known tax deduction, United Country affiliates are now able to provide this unique service and help their clients in a way no other real estate company can.
What are Legacy Nutrient Deductions?
Legacy Nutrient Deductions (LNDs) are a little-known deduction based on the fertility value already present in the soil at the time the land was purchased or inherited. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of this tax deduction before. “My entire life has been spent in and around agriculture, and I had never heard of this,” President of Auction Services Shawn Terrel said in an article from The Land Report. “I found that highly interesting. If it’s been around that long and people haven’t heard about it, then it’s being grossly underutilized.”

With the potential to unlock an average of $1,700 per acre in deductions, Boa Safra Ag’s program can bring immediate financial value to your clients. To qualify for these deductions, landowners must:
- Have purchased or inherited their land since the early 2000s
- Currently use the land for crop, livestock or timber production
- Have a minimum land basis (investment) of $500 per acre
This program offers immediate and substantial savings with an average deduction of $1,700 per acre. Clients can also recover up to 10-15% of real estate costs through tax deductions. Think of them like a tax advisor—helping your clients discover how much their land is worth. To safely claim these deductions, landowners must hire a qualified third-party provider like Boa Safra Ag to determine and document the nutrient value in their soil. There is a small fee involved with the work they do, but your clients will see a meaningful increase in their land’s income threshold.
“There are many landowners who have qualifying land and can benefit from this who still don’t know that Legacy Nutrient Deductions are a thing, partly because it’s not industry standard,” Zack Porter, one of the owners of Boa Safra Ag said. “What better way to help pole-vault forward to making this industry standard than by partnering with the largest brokerage firm in the U.S.? United Country has amazing reach, and they can take Legacy Nutrient Deductions and help it achieve a greater scale.”
