Tax value in the
farmland you finance.

When your clients buy or inherit farmland, part of what they paid for is deductible, and the window to prove it is narrow. Bring that to them at the closing table, alongside the specialists who do it right.

Why Partner

The deduction is in the soil, at the moment of purchase.

The Section 180 residual-fertility deduction lets a farmer deduct the unexhausted fertilizer left in purchased or inherited farmland, often a large first-year deduction, but only if parcel-specific soil tests are taken in the year of purchase, before new fertilizer goes on. Partnering with Novaric lets ag lenders and advisors flag that opportunity at exactly the right time, backed by a conservative, defensible study.

Behind your brand, or beside you.

Ag partnerships typically run referral or co-delivered, you introduce the client at purchase, we run the soil study and the analysis, and you stay their trusted advisor.

Your clients. Your relationship. Our specialty.

Common Questions

Questions we hear.

Why does timing matter so much?

The soil tests must be taken in the year of purchase, before any new fertilizer, so flagging it at closing is what makes the deduction possible.

Isn’t this deduction risky?

It can be, in aggressive hands. We take the conservative, well-documented approach, unexhausted fertilizer only, so your clients aren’t exposed.
