LegacySoil
Turn Residual Soil Fertility Into a Long-Term Tax Deduction
What is LegacySoil?
If you purchased or inherited farmland recently, you may be eligible for a federal tax deduction tied to residual and/or excess soil fertility—often worth $1,000 per acre or more, realized over time.
Continuum Ag + LegacySoil
LegacySoil creates your fertility report done and ready to hand to your CPA for tax filing. They support you in case of any audits too.
Continuum Ag is a referral partner for LegacySoil, plus helps assess the soil fertility value in your soil.
What does LegacySoil do?
When farmland is purchased or inherited, the soil often contains residual nutrients and fertility value that were not fully depleted by the previous operator. In certain cases, that value can be documented and deducted over time as part of your tax strategy.
LegacySoil specializes in identifying and documenting this fertility value.
Continuum Ag supports the data, agronomic context, and land-specific details needed to make the process clear and defensible.
LegacySoil is for landowners who:
Purchased or inherited farmland within the past 5 years
Have soil samples taken close in time to the purchase or inheritance date
Own farmland in the Midwest (row crop regions are ideal)
Want to capture legitimate tax value already embedded in your land
Timing matters: The narrower the window between land acquisition and soil sampling, the stronger the opportunity typically is.
