Our Experience with Agricultural Appraisals
We have worked on countless agricultural real estate appraisals throughout Central Alberta including reports on such properties as bare farmland, recreational, agricultural lands, farm home sites, and large working ranches.
As agricultural businesses are unlike any other, they require a very specialized appraisal process with a focus on the features of the land itself. We look at soil quality, the area of cultivatable land, accessibility, easements, and general topography.
What’s on the land is also an important factor in creating our detailed appraisal report, so when necessary, we consider the types of crops or livestock, structures, and buildings that are to be included as part of the property.
There is a wide range of farm types that are easy to designate as such given their size and their uses, including:
- Grain production
- Dairy
- Cattle
- Poultry
- Hogs
- Vegetables
- Hobby farms
Each of these, and more, has unique characteristics that make an agricultural appraisal complex and determine the value of the property. There is also the element of acreage to consider for an agricultural designation, which goes beyond just the size of the parcel to include the location and its use.
These are all within our scope when commissioned to perform an agricultural real estate appraisal so that we can provide the most comprehensive report to our clients.
