Agriculture

Commercial agricultural properties are used to generate revenue through the production of crops for human consumption, such as fruits, vegetables and meat, or raising livestock for sale. Agricultural land can include farmland, ranches, orchards, vineyards and other types of agricultural operations. Some agricultural properties may include existing infrastructure like barns, silos, irrigation systems, poultry houses and greenhouses, which can increase the value of a property. As with other types of commercial real estate, a property’s value and potential for revenue are influenced by several factors, including location, accessibility, market demand and the quality and maintenance of infrastructure.
