Tillable Acreage Filter: Deep Dive

Understanding the Tillable Acreage Filter

The value of farmland is closely tied to its usability, and one of the key factors in determining productivity is the percentage of tillable land. AcreValue’s Tillable Acreage Filter allows landowners, investors, and farmers to quickly assess the portion of a parcel that is suitable for cultivation.

By leveraging this feature, users can refine their property searches, compare land across regions, and make data-driven decisions on land purchases and investments.

Why Tillable Land Matters

Not all acres are created equal. A property may be large, but if a significant portion consists of forests, wetlands, or rocky terrain, its agricultural potential is limited. The Tillable Acreage Filter helps users:

• Identify high-quality farmland: Quickly locate parcels with the most plantable acreage.
• Compare land values: Understand how tillable land affects pricing and investment potential.
• Optimize land use: Farmers can assess whether a property aligns with their crop production goals.

How to Use the Tillable Acreage Filter on AcreValue

Navigating the Tillable Acreage Filter is simple:

1. Log in to AcreValue and access the interactive map.
2. Click on the “More” filters button to view all available search filters.
3. Use the filter to set a tillable percentage range. Only 1 value (minimum or maximum) is required – for example, setting the minimum to 20% and leaving maximum empty will result in a search of all properties with their tillable percentage at 20% or higher.
4. View and compare parcels, using additional layers like soil maps and topography for deeper insights.

Real-World Applications

• Farmers can pinpoint land with the best soil and tillable acreage for their operations.
• Investors can identify undervalued properties with high cultivation potential.
• Appraisers & lenders can assess land values with greater accuracy based on productivity.

Conclusion

The Tillable Acreage Filter is a powerful tool for anyone involved in land acquisition, valuation, or farming. By providing a clear picture of a property’s tillable potential, AcreValue helps users make informed decisions that maximize both productivity and profitability.
