OPEN ROW CROP LANDS

 

Open row crop land differs depending on many variables including water, soils, improvements, drainage, etc. We understand that all land is not created or developed equally. Nor should it be valued equally.

​

Some categories are:

• Vegetable capable lands • Nut Orchard capable lands
• Characteristics vary by nut crop • Vineyard capable lands • Citrus capable lands

 

 

RANCHES AND GRAZING

 

Not all ranches are valued in the same way.

Understanding carrying capacity, improvements, water availability, land use capabilities, and other issues go into the valuation of Ranching and Grazing properties.

 

PERMANENT PLANTINGS

Nut Orchards
• Almond • Pistachio • Walnuts

Table, Wine and Raisin Grape Vineyards

WATER BANKING LANDS

Water is California's "Texas Tea".

Lands capable of supporting viable water banking facilities are unique and have characteristics unlike typical open row crop lands.

We understand these characteristics and the inherent value to our water banking clients.
