What counts as R&D

Farming is full of research — you just call it work

These common agricultural activities routinely qualify for the R&D tax credit.

Crop & Cultivar Trials

Experimenting with new grape varieties, rootstocks, or hybrid crops qualifies as research.

Irrigation & Water Innovation

Custom drip systems, moisture sensors, and water-efficiency testing all count.

Soil & Fertility Research

Cover cropping, compost trials, and nutrient management experiments are eligible.

Process Improvements

New harvesting, fermentation, or storage methods developed on your operation.

Do you qualify?

If any of these sound familiar, you likely qualify

You don't need a lab coat. Real farming innovation counts.

  • You've tested new crop varieties, rootstocks, or growing techniques
  • You've built or modified irrigation, fertigation, or drainage systems
  • You've run soil, compost, or cover-crop trials to improve yields
  • You've developed new harvesting, processing, or storage methods
  • You've experimented with pest or disease management alternatives
  • You operate a farm, vineyard, orchard, or ranch in the U.S.
