How are farms and rural land appraised in Kentucky?
Farm appraisals look at the land itself (tillable, pasture and wooded acres, soils, road frontage, access, water, flood zone) as well as improvements such as homes, barns, grain bins and fencing. Comparable farm sales are often spread across several counties and years, so the analysis relies on careful adjustments. A Certified General credential covers all property types, including farms. Farm appraisal is Tradewater Appraisal & Realty's specialty, and Scott D. Kelley is approved for FSA (Farm Service Agency) farm-loan appraisals.
