Buying a Farm – "Harvesting the Write-Offs"

Key Takeaways: Use Tax Tools to Improve Cash Flow: Section 179 and bonus depreciation allow farm investors to write off equipment costs right away. This can free up cash and support business growth. Know What You Can Depreciate: Land cannot be depreciated, but things like equipment and buildings (such as barns) can. Planning ahead helps you get the most tax benefit. Think Long Term With Depreciation: Tax strategies should match your long-term plans. Consider how selling assets later could affect your taxes. New Funding Opportunities Are Growing: Private lending is becoming more common again. This can create new ways for entrepreneurs to invest in areas like agriculture. Farming Adds Real Value: Owning and running a farm isn’t just about profit. It also supports food systems and contributes to the well-being of communities and the environment.
