How to Sell an Agriculture Business in 2025: 3 Challenges and Solutions

Man ready to sell an agriculture business
Challenge 1:
Managing Land Valuation and Lease Agreements

For agriculture businesses, land is one of the most valuable assets. However, valuing land isn’t straightforwardβ€”it depends on factors like soil quality, water rights, zoning restrictions, and lease agreements. Misvaluing your land or not properly managing leases can significantly lower your sale price.

Unbroker Solution:

We can help you conduct a thorough land assessment, evaluating soil health, irrigation systems, and overall land improvements to provide an accurate valuation. We also assist with lease negotiations and ensure all legal land agreements are in place, making the transition smooth and transparent for both parties.

Challenge 2:
Accurately Valuing Farm Equipment and Assets

Farm machinery, from tractors to irrigation systems, often represents a large portion of the total business value. Accurately pricing these assets is challenging, as it requires an understanding of depreciation, current market trends, and equipment condition.

Unbroker Solution:

We guide detailed equipment audits, considering maintenance records, market demand, and brand value. Our valuation process creates a comprehensive report that supports your asking price, ensuring you get fair value for every piece of equipment.

Challenge 3:
Transitioning Crop or Livestock Operations

Transferring ownership of an agriculture business involves more than just equipment and land. There are live crops, livestock, and ongoing contracts to consider. A poorly managed transition can disrupt operations, risk livestock welfare, or damage valuable crop yields.

Unbroker Solution:

We help create a detailed transition plan for crop cycles or livestock management, ensuring that the new owner has everything they need to continue operations seamlessly. From coordinating feed and supply chains to managing crop harvests, we handle the details to keep your business running smoothly through the sale.

Selling my farm business was more than just a business transactionβ€”it was a legacy decision. I wanted to make sure that the land, equipment, and staff were in good hands. Unbroker guided me through everything, from accurately valuing my land and tractors to navigating a complicated lease transfer. They understood the unique challenges of agriculture, and their support gave me confidence in every step. Dad would be proud.
