Agricultural Appraisals

The agriculture industry in Monterey County generates nearly 5 billion dollars in revenues per year (per the Monterey County Agricultural Commissioner’s 2024 report). Agricultural production in the Salinas Valley has long been dominated by row crops. Appraising row crop land requires proper knowledge of soil types, topography, micro climates, drainage, wetlands, deed restrictions, easements, water quality, etc.  Appraising vineyards requires knowledge of grape varieties, their yields, and their market prices. We have the required knowledge and experience and provide top-quality row crop and vineyard appraisals.

Appraising ranches and grazing land in the Central California area takes a mix of local knowledge and familiarity with the factors that that affect the value of ranches. Factors such as location, water, access, carrying capacity,  topography,  and agricultural preserve limitations, all affect value and must be properly addressed.

We also appraise agricultural support facilities including, cold storage,  cooling and processing properties, warehouses, greenhouses, etc.
