The Internal Revenue Service allows an individual or entity to amortize investments in precision land forming at a yearly rate of 25% of farming revenue. For example, the Baltzer Farm has a projected precision land forming expenditure of $835,344. This capital expenditure can be written off as follows:
| Farm Revenue |
$236,547 |
| Rate of Amortization |
x 25% |
| Amount of Amortization |
$ 59,136 |
Thus $59,136 of the $835,344 capitalized expense can be amortized and deducted from the farm’s taxable income. This advantageous tax write-off is one of the added benefits of modernizing a farm via precision land forming. |
