If you had to decide between a forklift or a skid steer for on-farm use, what would you choose and why?

While there are numerous reasons for using cover crops, a primary one is improving soil health. In fact, it’s the one benefit most farmers using cover crops have experienced: In the most recent Cover Crop Survey Annual Report, of those who rated the statement, “Using cover crops has improved soil health on my farm,” 86% agreed or strongly agreed. The report notes that it’s interesting and heartening that “soil health reflects an embrace of a long-term, hard-to-quantify benefit of cover crops, and that for the past two surveys, it has achieved the top spot by garnering 86% of the responses. ”While soil health may be harder to quantify than benefits like biomass production or input savings, there are ways of measuring how cover crops are making a difference in your soil...

On December 19, 2019, Treasury released the final regulations for the much-discussed Opportunity Zone program. Overall, these final regulations did a great job of answering most of the open farming & agribusiness questions proposed by tax practitioners. While we will discuss these in detail, taxpayers must first have a solid understanding of the basic Opportunity Zone rules and benefits. The Opportunity Zone initiative was enacted as part of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017... Other land improvements such as clearing, cleaning, grading, rehabbing, or purchasing business assets used in the farming trade or business should qualify as Qualified Opportunity Zone business property...

Most farmers and ranchers have a decent understanding of tax depreciation. When a business purchases assets, the business entity is allowed to write off the value of the asset purchased over the life of the asset. Land, however, is not depreciable as the value of the dirt & minerals does not decrease over time like the value of structures, barns, fences, etc. When a business purchases a ranch or farm, the value of those existing structures, equipment, and infrastructure can be depreciated for tax purposes... When purchasing a ranch or farm, taxpayers often allocate the vast majority of the purchase to the land and building(s) purchased...

You probably know that having a crop rotation is a good thing. Growing different crops back to back provides several benefits, such as preventing pests and disease, improving soil health and reducing fertilizer inputs, all of which can boost your crop yields and your bottom line. By adding cover crops to the mix, you’re diversifying your rotation even more. But have you thought about rotating your cover crops? Should you be using the same cover crop species back to back, year after year?Dave Robison, who runs the blog PlantCoverCrops... “Whether the farmer is growing his own cereal grains or whether they’re purchasing grains from another farmer, they really need to consider the cost that they may be incurring by adding in additional disease pressure to the farm,” he says...

The Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST) is a newer investment vehicle that allows real estate property owners, including farmers and ag landowners, to purchase tenants in common ownership in passive investment properties. DSTs are separate legal entities and are becoming a more popular choice for Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 exchanges. Revenue Ruling 2004-86 allows a DST to own 100% of a real estate asset and allows a maximum of 499 investors to own an interest in the trust... Rather than simply purchasing one or maybe two replacement properties in a Section 1031 Exchange, the DST often invests in many different properties as part of the fund’s strategy... Rather than purchasing a single asset (or single stock), a DST (or mutual fund) uses pooled funds from investors to acquire many different assets...

What is Blockchain Technology?Regardless of whether you're completely new to the digital currency space, odds are you've known about blockchain and you may even have a rough thought regarding what it is as of now. It's a sufficiently enough concept to grasp: at its most fundamental dimension, it is an exact record of everything which has ever occurred on a given network. That may not sound so impressive straight off the bat, but its significance is pretty great.

Imagine your farm or business handles six hundred thousand dollars per year. The transactions vary in size from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars for the most part. Thousands and thousands of transactions. You know that your margins are tight - just a few percentage points separate you from being in the red or black... Some people became upset! So the stations instead started offering a discount to those who paid by cash - everyone ended up happy! In some areas, even to this day certain gas stations still give a discount to those who use cash instead of credit - I pass one every time I head to town and chuckle, since most likely people who go in to pay cash also end up purchasing way overpriced over stuff that more than offsets the small savings the station offers for cash buyers...
