Our Services
Here to meet your agricultural appraisal needs
Why Agricultural Appraisals Require Specialized Expertise
Agricultural properties involve valuation challenges that are unique to the industry:
Income streams from multiple sources (land, buildings, permanent plantings, leases and contracts)
Soil productivity, irrigation, and drainage systems
Specialty improvements—rotary parlors, aviary layer barns, pivots, grain systems, stables
Highest and best use analysis for mixed rural tracts
Regulatory and environmental considerations
Our team works exclusively in the rural and agricultural real estate space—understanding these nuances is our specialty.
Agricultural and Rural Real Estate Appraisals
Our team specializes exclusively in agricultural and rural real estate—from working farms and timberland to large dairies, specialty operations, and complex agribusiness assets. We focus on assignments that require deep industry knowledge: high-value tracts, multi-component agricultural operations, and properties with unique improvements, multiple income streams, or challenging valuation factors.
We complete certified appraisals for lending, estate and tax planning, legal, business planning, government programs, conservation work, and grant applications. As Certified General Real Estate Appraisers, our work meets the highest professional and regulatory standards. Each assignment is developed using industry-recognized methodologies and compliant with USPAP. With extensive experience across a wide range of intended uses, we deliver accurate, quality valuations and a final report that’s tailored to your specific property, purpose, and deadlines. In plain terms: you get an appraisal that holds up when it matters. Ready to have your property accurately valued?
Agricultural Personal Property
We provide quality agricultural personal property valuation, including livestock, farm machinery, equipment, and crop inventories. If you need an appraisal for estate planning, lending, business planning, insurance, or a sale/transfer, you want someone who understands agriculture.
Our dedicated personal property appraisal team specializes in rural and agricultural assets. You get accurate valuations backed by market data, trends, and real-world agricultural experience. Whether you need a standalone farm equipment appraisal or want it completed alongside a real estate appraisal, Agrinomic Insights delivers reliable, timely, and compliant reports that hold up with lenders, attorneys, accountants, and regulators. If you’re searching for livestock valuation, agricultural equipment appraisal, or crop inventory valuation, we handle the full scope. Ready to have your property accurately valued?
Real Estate Property Data Research Services
Don’t need your property appraised but need some of the general data we collect in the appraisal process? We can do that too! With access to software and data systems used in our appraisal process, Agrinomic Insights can provide aerial, soil, topography, wetland, and tax maps. These maps can be useful in the management of properties, research on potential purchases, marketing properties for sale and more. One parcel of land or hundreds, we are here to help.
Agricultural Appraisal Mentorships
This service is for certified general appraisers who have taken on an agricultural appraisal, but don’t have a background in the agricultural industry. USPAP requires that we either have competency or obtain competency to complete an appraisal assignment. If you find yourself in this position, we can provide our expertise in agricultural appraisal. Reach out to us today for more details.
Appraisal Review
Our team has experience reviewing appraisals for a variety of needs. We can provide quarterly, semiannual, and annual reviews for lenders and other appraisal users to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Appraisal reviews can also be completed for general best practices and collateral review. Furthermore, our team of appraisers is experienced in reviewing appraisals for “yellow book” compliance for federal land acquisitions requirements. Whether you are in need of a portfolio review or a single review, our team is well versed in many regulations and standards, such as Farmer Mac, USDA, Farm Credit Administration, and many others.
Appraisal Consulting
If you are looking for guidance from a certified real estate appraiser, we can provide appraisal consulting services. We work with banks, attorneys, accountants, and business/property owners to provide appraisal insight. This service can be customized to fit your individual needs.
You may not need a comprehensive appraisal report, yet still require professional insight. We have worked on many projects which do not require a specific property to be appraised, rather, an overview of a market area and its value trends is compiled. If you would like the guidance of an appraiser without a comprehensive appraisal report, appraisal consulting might be right for you. We are here to guide you in this process. Contact us today!
Education and Speaking
Our team includes experienced appraisers who have not only spent time in the field, but also teaching in the classroom. We have taught courses and seminars for the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, Universities, USDA Farm Service Agency, Office of Real Property Services, and more. This service is something that can be done in-person as well as virtually, depending on your needs and preferences. We are also available to speak at events around the topic of agricultural appraisals.
Our education and speaking services are meant for anyone interested in learning more about the appraisal process or agricultural real estate markets. We have taught courses for qualifying education and continuing education of certified appraisers as well as non-appraiser classrooms looking for insight about markets. Speaking engagements have included realtor events, cooperative extension events and assessor meetings.

APPRAISAL PROCESS
Communication is something we take seriously at Agrinomic Insights. When working through the appraisal process, we will maintain communication to make sure you get the most out of the experience.
- 1. DEVELOP SCOPE OF WORK
- The appraiser will interview the client to collect pertinent information to develop scope of work. An appraisal engagement agreement will be written up and signed by both the appraiser and the client.
- 2. COLLECT DATA
- The appraiser will then spend time collecting sales and market data in addition to subject property data.
- 3. INSPECT PROPERTY
- The appraiser and client will schedule an inspection and determine who will be meeting the appraiser at the property. At the inspection, the appraiser will take notes, tour the property, and photograph buildings and the land.
- 4. DATA ANALYSIS
- The appraiser will then analyze all data collected for the subject, market, and sales.
- 5. DETERMINE VALUE
- From this analysis the appraiser will conclude a final value for the subject property.
- 6. APPRAISAL REPORT
- The appraiser will write up their method, analyzed data, and conclusions to provide a report for the client.
- 7. DELIVER REPORT
- Once completed, the appraiser will deliver the final report to the client via delivery method (emailed PDF or mailed paper copy) discussed in the appraisal engagement agreement. Once the report is delivered, the client is welcome to ask follow-up questions to help clarify any information within the report.
