Agricultural Land Sale: Supporting Modern Farming Practices

Farming enterprises have evolved drastically over time and many farmers have begun operating either as Limited Companies or Farming Partnerships. As these companies are increasingly exposed to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, Red Book agri land valuation reports from qualified agricultural agents are increasingly being seen as crucial for good governance. 

For the modern farming enterprise in Ireland, ESG principles are now expected and can give these enterprises several key strategic advantages. Accurate agricultural land valuations demonstrate that a farming enterprise has a due diligence towards environmental stewardship (e.g. sustainable farming), social responsibility (e.g. animal welfare), and corporate governance (e.g. maintaining good employee relations with farmhands). All of these can contribute to a more robust, more credible, and more compliant agricultural enterprise with increased trust amongst financial lenders, for example. 

From inventorying business assets to assisting with agricultural land financial planning or adhering to ESG principles, our agricultural agents in Tuam & Galway help ensure that your valuation needs are fulfilled professionally and accurately.
