LAND REPROT: https://landvalues.acres.com/farmland-values-heartland-report This week, we have a returning guest, Aaron Shew, a data scientist at Acres, to talk about a recent report they released, “The Heartland Report,“ a comprehensive analysis that offers an in-depth examination of land values spanning from the first quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2023. What makes this report particularly remarkable is its extensive dataset, comprising over 37,000 real land transactions gathered from across the sprawling Midwest region. With this wealth of data, Aaron and his team have meticulously aggregated information to unveil the trends, shifts, and patterns that have defined Heartland's farmland landscape in the past three years. If you are a land buyer, investor, or broker, this report is a valuable tool that will give you a good idea of what happened in the last three years. It will not only provide you with critical insights into the dynamics of farmland values but also offer a comprehensive understanding of the factors that have shaped the land market. Now, let’s jump in! Key Highlights from the Show [00:01] Episode intro and pre-show talk [02:39] Aaron’s background and what he does as a data scientist at Acres [05:36] What inspired the idea of the Heartland Report [08:47] The date range when they started the Heartland analysis [09:30] Where to find and download The Heartland Report [10:41] Aaron’s assumptions that were confirmed and debuted by the report [14:31] Aaron's perspective on the causes of the spike in sales in farmland [16:39] The price breaker and some factors and firms that they filtered out [19:36] Productivity index (PI), how the price is calculated, and Aaron’s findings [29:24] Illinois run of price and the number of class A, B, and C sales [31:25] Aaron's opinion of Indiana based on the data that they retrieved [33:57] Iowa price breaker gradient and what Aaron and his team found [36:02] Minnesota’s class A steep decline compared to other states [38:33] Findings from Missouri on land value and sales trends [41:33] Nebraska irrigated, and non-irrigated grounds value broad report [43:50] High-level trends that Aaron and his team found in Ohio [45:31] Aaron’s predictions for the next 2-3 years based on the last 3 years trend [48:13] Aaron’s perspective looking at The Heart Land report in 20 years [50:22] How to send your feedback and ideas to Aaron based on the report [51:09] Ending the show and calls to action Notable Quotes Until you get the big picture of data and trends, there are a thousand rabbits to chase. The Heartland report is not meant to replace local knowledge and the broker but to empower them in decision-making. If a farm is 10 miles from the nearest city vs. 50 miles, there is a big difference in the value; the value of farmland is not entirely tied to productivity.

Whether you're a seasoned hunter or a beginner, owning your own deer hunting farm can be a dream come true. But before you start setting up blinds and baiting areas, it's essential to ensure that your land is properly prepared for hunting. That's why we sit down with a veteran deer hunting farm owner, Skip Sligh, to discuss the top things you need to do before opening up your farm to hunting. In this conversation, we dive into the importance of timber sampling, the benefits of planting food plots for deer, and the ideal forests to grow for optimal hunting conditions. So, if you're looking to maximize your chances of a successful and rewarding hunting experience, Skip shares essential steps to take on a scenario of a 50-acre deer hunting farm. Skip is the owner of Iowa Whitetail. He purchased his first land when he was 22 years and what he has done over the last 20 years is interesting and inspiring.

In this episode we have Alec Bean from ASM Labs discuss soil fertility deprecation. It’s tax season, and in this episode, we will talk all about that overlooked aspect, especially by land owners, prospective land owners and even some accountants. Whenever you buy land, you can do soil tests to determine its fertility levels. In this case, the experts collect soil samples and test them to determine the excess amount of nutrients in the farm. Certified crop advisers then assign a value to those excess nutrients based on USDA Fertilizer pricing reports, all of which is compiled into a professional report, which can be used to claim deductions for excess fertility in the piece of land. Alec Bean joins us in this episode to talk about all that jargon and how to navigate the complexities of that tax deduction. Alec Bean, CCA and owner of Agricultural Soil Management (ASM), have been helping clients take advantage of IRS Section 180, which allows for the depreciation of excess nutrients on a farm parcel when purchased. “If you are buying land right now and not taking advantage of this part of the tax code, more than likely, dollars are being left on the table,” says Alec Bean. Key Highlights from the Show [00:01] Episode intro and pre-show talk [03:11] Meet and greet Alec Bean [05:24] Who does the IRS section 180 apply for? [07:53] At what stage is this tax law activated [10:21] After how long should you start the soil testing process after purchase? [12:02] Benefits of doing soil testing besides tax incentives from the IRS [16:06] Making sense of the report with your CPA [26:09] Conditions where land is considered a CRP [30:08] Source of fertilizer and soil test values and the frequency of update [31:47] Nutrients tested in the soil [34:52] How the soil fertility values change from state to state [38:40] Why having a fresh soil test is key and what else you need to know [41:56] How Alec got into this field [44:06] Alec’s views on the current overview and future market of the land market [49:23] Ending the show and calls to action Notable Quotes 1031 exchange is simply a deferment of tax on land that is sold. When buying land, you need to investigate the soil fertility for purposes of tax deductions. No one gets excited about soil testing, but when you talk about the possibility of saving some dollars from it, you enter into a candid conversation. The best time to buy land was a long time ago. The second best time to buy is now.

You can’t hunt something that is not there, and when it’s not there, you need to create it or find a better spot by assessing your farm and taking action. To create what you want, you need to put habitat first and hunting second. Stop focusing more on the wind direction, food plot, and the set-up, and focus on the habitat, and things will start shifting. Focusing on the habitat is a game changer. However, most of us don’t have the patience to do it, and we can’t stand not hunting on our new land for a year or two, but doing this makes all the difference. Learn how to achieve 365 days in a year of comfort, food, water, and cover to enable deer to stay. You can’t stop deer from leaving your property but don’t give them a reason to leave. Take time to cultivate a good hunting experience through patience, don’t sell yourself short. In this episode with Greg Glesinger, we discuss buying land, habitat, what all great parcels have in common, and the absolute farm deal breakers you should live by. Greg is a habitat fanatic, has brought many farms over the years, and has hunted and tagged multiple deer that most people consider a deer of a lifetime. Get ready to learn from his 25 years plus experience, wisdom, and secrets that have enabled him to succeed. Key Highlights from the Show [00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest, Greg Glesinger [02:09] Greg’s background and how he got into the hunting game [05:41] The foundation book that has stood up for Greg to this day [08:06] How prioritising habitat over hunting changed Greg’s strategy for buying land [09:11] How Greg ramped up a 240 acres farm with a horrible habitat and food [12:50] Transforming a transit property to a home property for deer [14:48] Greg’s 40% timber strategy and how to apply it to smaller farms [16:35] One of the most important attributes when looking for a farm [21:18] Patience and how it gives you more opportunities to harvest deer [23:47] Greg’s strategy and projects for hunting big bucks [26:47] The right pressure for high-value seeds and what it means to Greg [29:15] Greg’s strategy of buying a great land [30:18] Greg’s horror stories of the mistakes he made in the past [28:09] What inspired Greg to buy his first farm [33:40] What it was like decades ago to buy a farm Vs. today and Greg’s recommendations [36:21] Greg’s perspective on the land market trends [43:34] Neighborhood plant factor and why you need to do your homework [45:13] Being strategic on your bucks’ structure and what you want to harvest [49:00] What Greg wishes he knew when he started and his advice to you [52:42] Paying attention to your deer traffic and patterns to get information [51:11] Creating a 365 days year food program and why it’s important [57:52] Water access in the food plots and the strategy that Greg employs [01:01:23] Hunting the big deers and learning their behavior patterns [01:05:20] Finding out what you enjoy doing and pursuing it [01:06:59] Professional advice that Greg wishes he had known when he was in his 20s [01:16:10] Ending the show and calls to action Notable Quotes If you’ve too much timber in your property, it will work against you. Access is the number 1 attribute to look for; the rest you can build; when you’re hunting deer, you don’t want them to know you are coming. If you hunt less, you will kill more because you’re not putting pressure on the property. Doing the right work during the spring/summer puts your chances up during the fall. Do your homework on the neighbors and know who they are before purchasing a farm. Getting on the same page with your neighbors will save a lot of stress and make hunting a lot more enjoyable. If you want more enjoyment from your farm, gear it based on your access. Most people hunt to hunt, but they don’t hunt for information. https://linktr.ee/TheLandPodcast https://linktr.ee/exodustrailcamera https://bit.ly/TheDeerGearPodcast
