Field Note Description

When you inherit farmland, the built-up fertility in the soil resets to its value on the day you inherited it — which can open a fresh deduction against your farm income. It covers how that reset works, why the deduction can show up even if the previous owner already claimed one, and the timing step that protects it. Useful for anyone who has recently inherited ground or expects to.
