What Type of Property do Farmers Typically 1031 Exchange Into?

1031 exchanges are very popular among farmers who want to sell their current farmland and reinvest in larger property while deferring capital gains taxes. Many people wonder what type of property farmers typically exchange into after selling their farmland.

In general, Minnesota farmers want to buy more farmland – ideally close to their home. They don’t want to be farming land on the other side of the county. Additionally, farmers typically want to buy really productive land. There are two primary considerations farmers have when considering 1031 replacement property:

·         What is the soil like?

·         How close is it to my home farm?

Of course, not all farmers exchange into more farmland when doing a 1031 exchange. Perhaps a farmer has children who all went into different careers and have no interest in continuing the family farming operation. In this type of situation, farmers will often exchange into DSTs to ensure a more reliable income stream for the remainder of their lives. Farmers who have multiple heirs also often utilize a DST conversion into an UPREIT that makes it easy to dole out shares to numerous heirs.
