Federal Tax Incentives for Agriculture
R&D Tax Credits for Farmers, Ranchers and Agricultural Operations
Farmers and ranchers have always found ways to improve their operations, from testing crop varieties and refining irrigation to improving livestock performance and adopting precision agriculture. Each effort supports a practical goal: stronger operations, better returns, and a legacy built to last.
With recent changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, agricultural producers may have new opportunities to benefit from federal Research & Development Tax Credits.
Trusted Experience Across Agriculture
Innovation already happening
Many Agricultural Operations Already Qualify
R&D tax credits are often available when producers improve, test, adapt, or experiment within their operations. Common qualifying activities may include:
Irrigation improvements
Developing or refining water systems, application methods, monitoring, and conservation practices.
Herd performance
Evaluating feed, genetics, health protocols, water systems, or production methods.
Precision agriculture
Adapting software, sensors, GPS, automation, equipment, and data-driven processes.
Process improvements
Improving yield, quality, efficiency, consistency, resilience, or production capacity.
Technical challenges
Trying alternatives when the right method, design, or outcome was uncertain at the outset.
A practical standard
Agriculture Involves Constant Experimentation
Every growing season presents uncertainty. Producers continuously adapt to changing conditions, making agriculture one of the most innovation-driven industries.
- Were you trying to improve a product, process, technique, formula, or software?
- Did technical uncertainty exist at the beginning?
- Did you evaluate alternatives through testing or experimentation?
- Did the work rely on principles of science, engineering, or technology?
