Farm & Ranch, vol 89

Re-imagining 1031 Tax Deferred Investment Solutions

“We’re going to give you our money. We worked really hard for it. Please don’t lose it.” These were the words from a third-generation farm-owner who had just made one of the most pivotal decisions of his life… To sell the family farm that had provided a living, built a family, and established a legacy for the next generation. As I sat across the kitchen table with the patriarch, his daughter, and granddaughter, I was reminded that the most valuable form of currency isn’t money—it’s trust. Trust is the foundation of relationships and starts with shared values and aligned interests.

We are seeing the perfect storm with the convergence of highly appreciated property, aging demographics, and the desire to transition from the burden of day-to-day property management to passive lifestyle income. With recent increases in property values of agricultural land1 , we believe investment property owners are more motivated than ever to explore their exit strategies through 1031 tax deferred reinvestment options. For many active property owners, the hardest part of the hold/sell decision is letting go of the familiar…to embrace the unfamiliar. Any worthwhile investment solution begins with education and trusted research.

Under IRS 1031 exchange rules, sellers of investment property can defer capital gains and other taxes, provided they reinvest proceeds into another qualified investment property. However, at its core, a 1031 tax deferred exchange should always be a fundamental investment strategy first and a

tax strategy second. The surging demand for investment real estate has resulted in a limited supply of quality 1031 replacement properties. As a result, many investors can be hesitant to sell their relinquished property until they have reasonable assurance of locating and closing a suitable 1031 replacement solution.

So, what are generational farmers, ranchers, sporting and lifestyle property owners to do when evaluating the hold-versus-sell decision? Is it possible to achieve both tax deferral and preservation of investment value in this competitive real estate market? Is there an integrated 1031 solution that combines tax deferral with potential streams of passive income, simplified estate planning, and diversified real estate holdings? If you are asking these questions and ready to transition from actively managed property to passively owned investment real estate, then read on…

One of the fastest growing segments of the 1031 exchange market is the Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”)2 . Pre-structured DSTs are intended to be a “turn-key” solution designed for diversified property ownership, potential for multiple streams of passive income, and efficient replacement property identification and closing. Many DSTs are pre-structured programs, sponsored by national investment management companies with proven track records. In some cases, investors can identify and close on their individual DST property interests within days of selling their relinquished property and potentially begin enjoying passive cash flow.

DSTs can be offered as either all-cash investments or partially leveraged programs with non-recourse debt. With low investment minimums, investors can combine multiple property interests like building blocks or “Legos” to arrange highly-diversified and personalized real estate investment portfolios. DSTs represent diverse asset classes and investment strategies, including: New Class “A” multifamily residential communities, Industrial properties such as Amazon and Ford distribution facilities, Manufactured Housing, Self-Storage portfolios, Healthcare/Medical properties, and Essential Service properties such as Kroger Grocery, Dollar General, Tractor Supply, Walmart, and Walgreens. Depending on the investment amount, and the investor’s risk tolerance and investment objectives, Petra can generally allocate to each of these asset classes in an attempt to increase diversification and optimize performance outcomes.

While there is always risk to real estate investing, DSTs are offered as securitized real estate that must pass through multiple levels of due diligence and underwriting before being offered to qualified investors. If you are interested in learning how to transform your hard-earned wealth into a diversified portfolio of DST properties with the potential for passive income, please give us a call.

Investment results and distributions are not guaranteed. 1031/DST transactions are speculative investments and are suitable only for investors with high risk tolerance that understand the risks, including: loss of entire investment, illiquidity, lack of marketability, long-term investment horizons, risks associated with real estate investment, and general market risks.

RANCH

Older than Oklahoma, the story of Gillespie Ranch dates prior to Oklahoma statehood. Ownership of the ranch started with the Fisher Family and continued for five generations, creating a legacy for this Eastern Oklahoma ranch, located in McIntosh County near Lake Eu faula. Featuring over 11,000 well-managed acres, this working cattle ranch supports 1,500 cattle, offer s excellent hunting opportunities, and boasts over 60 years of American Quarter Hor se breeding history.

THE HISTORY

Dr. Jonas Fisher M.D. started laying the groundwork for this historic ranch on April 22, 1889, by staking his claim on land in Oklahoma County in the original Oklahoma Land Run of 1889. His son, Roy Fisher Sr., continued to expand the family’s land and commercial cattle operation over the next generation.

In the late 1940s the patriarch’s grandson, Roy Fisher Jr., began acquiring land in McIntosh County after graduating from Oklahoma State University and spending two years in the U.S. Army. It was

around this same time when Roy Jr. organized a band of American Quarter Horse mares, formulating the early beginnings of what would become the Fisher Ranch Performance Horse Program. Fisher worked to preserve bloodlines that provided a consistent source of prospects and breeding stock for ranches, competitors, and foundation horse breeders. Roy Fisher Jr. spent the better part of 60 years dedicating their breeding program to producing horses with superior cow sense, unparalleled disposition, and all-around athletic

Oklahoma v McIntosh County

ability. He believed that the top hands who made their living on a horse couldn’t afford to lose wages on a sorry mount.

Roy Fisher Jr. was a life-long student of genetics and a selfstated “believer of families,” which was how he approached the improvement of his horses. Fisher Ranch takes pride in preserving the legendary cow horse cross of Bert and Oklahoma Star foundation bloodlines. Fisher foals are known for their uniformity in both conformation and ability. The Fisher Ranch Horse Breeding Program

achievements include many notable horses raised on the ranch, used as foundation stock, or bred as outcrosses to improve the quality of today’s American Quarter Horse. The ranch is recognized as a Legacy Award Winner by The American Quarter Horse Association and multiple world champion Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association competitors have won while riding the Fisher-bred horses. Now owned by philanthropic businessman, Mr. Lloyd Gillespie, the property is being offered for only the second time in 80 years.

THE RANCH

The Gillespie Ranch is a true working cattle ranch that was established with efficiency and productivity in mind. The improvements are modest and reflect the goal of maintaining a profitable and sustainable ranch operation that would stand the test of time. Management of the ranch prioritizes investments with respect to the needs of the livestock and tends to eliminate unnecessary expenses. Nestled in the surrounding hills that border Lake Eufaula, the Gillespie Ranch is an excellent home to livestock, with wellbalanced rangeland grazing estimated at 50 percent native grasses and 40 percent Bermuda grasses, having over 100 water sources including multiple live water creeks, lakes and ponds, and the balance in timber and brush. In addition to agricultural aspects, the ranch produces income from a quarry operation that harvests natural stone for architectural construction projects throughout the country. The ranch has excellent highway access bordering State Highway 9 for over seven miles, offering investment buyers the potential to divide and further develop the property.

HUNTING AND RECREATION

The hunting and recreational aspect of the ranch offers excellent opportunities to harvest some of the largest southeastern Oklahoma whitetail deer. It features diverse terrain with elevation changes. The timber covered areas and mid-level bedding provide habitat for deer, turkey, and upland game. The many water sources offer great prospects for waterfowl and fishing adventures. Hiking, horseback riding, swimming, boating, and other activities are a natural fit for the area. Lake Eufaula, the largest lake in Oklahoma, is less than a mile from the ranch border and a mere 10-minute drive. This area features some of the finest modern lake communities in the state.

Most ranchers graze their cattle in the same patterns for decades. Like many ranch kids, Jim Howell learned those patterns tramping after his granddad Gilbert Howell on the family ranch near Cimarron, Colorado. But when Howell returned to his home ranch after learning new methods of ranching at college, he now saw the unfavorable grazing patterns. Over the years, the old ways had lowered grass yields and abused the landscape. It was time for change.

Howell and his wife Daniela applied a new approach: Zimbabwean ecologist Allan Savory’s holistic systematic approach to grazing. With holistic management, the Howells’ land improved. “[It] dramatically increased our [cattle] stocking rates,” Howell says. “It really made the operation work in terms of positive cash flow.” Allan Savory noticed. He asked Howell to help him interest major investors in similar large-scale ranching/ecological operations.

Savory and Howell created Grasslands, LLC in 2009 as such a land investment and ranch management company. Says Howell, “I found two South Dakota ranches that were priced incredibly cheap relative to how much grass they could grow. Two investors liked the concept.” The corporation now owns and manages ranches in Montana, Florida and New Zealand.

“Grasslands investors need financially viable investments,” Howell explains, “but they also want an ecological aspect, like grassland restoration. Some call themselves ‘impact investors.’ They aren’t trophy-ranch buyers.” But they do expect a ranch to generate annual financial dividends.

Today, Grasslands purchases working landscapes that appreciate in value over the long term. It then manages the ranches for profitability using holistic grazing practices.

“Even in the worst drought years,” Howell says, “our ranches are profitable. And in the

good years, they’re solidly profitable. The ranches generate all of the cash needed to improve fencing, water or housing. They wash their own faces.”

Even with financial success of Grasslands ranches, investors interested in land and livestock holdings are rare. Howell says that ranch investments can’t return dividends as high as other industries, such as energy or technology.

Stocking to Capacity

As part of its responsibility to investors, Grasslands, LLC creates two types of reports: financial and ecological. For the latter, the ranches host permanent monitoring transects. Ranch staff record ecological indicators such as percentage of bare ground, plant spacing, species diversity, live canopy cover, soil erosion, wildlife usage, amount of litter cover, and litter incorporation. “We look at all that input,” Howell says, “to tell us whether or not our management actually improves land health.”

This process is not a sprint. It takes years. But the land’s productivity and ecological health steadily increase through wet and dry weather patterns.

Ranches purchased by Grasslands resemble Howell’s family ranch in its early years. Unfavorable grazing patterns had depleted the land’s productivity. Former owners had overgrazed easily accessible areas while avoiding slopes and plateaus. “We call the latter ‘over-rested,’” Howell explains. “Left ungrazed for years or decades perennial bunch grasses smother themselves. The standing dormant biomass impedes the ability of those plants to produce their full potential.” Over time, holistic management heals both overrested and abused grasslands.

“Most conventionally managed ranches are understocked,” Howell says, “with livestock thinly distributed across large sections of land for long, or continuous, grazing periods.” On its Northern Great Plains ranches, Grasslands, LLC stocks 50 percent more cattle than previous owners. “We do this with minimal infrastructure investment,”

Howell says. “We build water capacity and utilize portable, inexpensive electric fencing.” Improvements are all planned to control livestock grazing patterns for the benefit of the grass.

This management style does require more mental capital. “It takes a huge amount of skill,” Howell says. “We do a lot of grazing planning and close observation in the course of implementing the plan, as well as adjustments to stay on plan. There’s a big intellectual component to manage stocking rates to increase carrying capacity, which therefore increases economic viability.”

On the Ground

On Grasslands’ Cinch Buckle Ranch near Broadus, Montana, a custom grazing client’s yearling cattle graze seasonally and a cow/calf herd grazes year-around. “We try to keep the client’s cattle in two bunches of 700 to a 1,000 head each,” says Nolan Reil, leader of the Cinch Buckle crew, “and the bunches are kept near each other when possible. We do this to prevent us from running all over to check water and cattle.”

Reil plans short moves every one to two weeks to rotate cattle to new grass. “The grazing plan is set to avoid all-day, strenuous drives,” Reil explains. “We like this because my wife Eva and I can bring our kids along. Also, the frequent short moves are good training for our green horses. The cattle are often waiting for us to open the gate.”

The Cinch Buckle country is fairly gentle, rippled by rough breaks. Two people on ATVs can erect a mile of polywire electric fence on fiberglass posts in under an hour to manage grazing. Reil says the organized grazing plan eases the workload. “We don’t want to be out herding cattle day and night, and moving electric fence over 38,000 acres constantly. With our set-up, we look forward to moving cattle.”

Reil cautions that large bunches of cattle contained in a specific area can damage the land. “In this country’s gumbo soil,” he provides as an example, “if cattle are too compact when it rains they will pug the soil [with deep hoof prints] and harm plants.” So the ranch crew consistently measures ecological indicators to adjust stocking rate and rotations. “The early sign of pushing stocking rate too hard,” Howell explains, “is in reduced dormant plant litter on the soil surface and increased bare ground.”

At the end of the summer, the grass bank and soil moisture determine adjustments to next season’s stocking rate. “In the past, we’ve fluctuated as much as 50 -to -70 percent of our stocking rate year-to-year,” Howell says. “Because of this, we’ve grown more conservative. We understand it’s a logistical challenge for the cattle owner to find other pasture, so we now plan a drought buffer of forage.”

Grazing cattle on contract for clients provides flexibility in livestock numbers, but also removes control over the type of cattle. A 1,200-pound cow eats more grass than a 1,000-pound one, which can scuttle a grazing plan designed around small-framed cattle. “If I planned for 5-day grazing periods,” Howell explains, “but the cattle are out of feed after four days, I’ve got to move them. If I’m consistently short of cattle feed on the fifth day—20 percent of a herd’s grazing time—that pattern will inflict a bad breed up [conception rates], send thin cows into winter, and result in a poor-looking calf crop. But if, in June, I observe more grass is consumed by the cows than expected, I can ask the client to bump the ship date from October to September.”

“We try to best utilize the grass that grows,” Reil adds. “We stock as many cattle as possible, try to maintain high animal performance, and consider the condition of the land for not only today but also the future. That’s what holistic management is: looking at the whole of everything.”

“This process is not a sprint. It takes years.”

True Profit

Grasslands, LLC is guided by the principle that profit isn’t true profit unless its working lands at least maintain, and ideally improve, their ecological integrity. “We don’t want to liquidate ecological capital to generate financial returns,” Howell says. But the company exists to provide financial return to investors. When investors choose to move their capital elsewhere, Grasslands must sell a ranch or two.

“We felt good about the sale of the South Dakota properties to multi-generational family operators [a few years ago],” Howell says. “But we’re cognizant of social investment. The people who work for Grasslands on these ranches are involved in their local communities. Some serve on the school board. Their kids play sports. We— not just Grasslands, but the investors too— want to help our employees stay in the area if we must sell.”

Financial decisions by investors caused Grasslands, LLC to transfer management of the Cinch Buckle to a lessee at the close of 2018. “When Eva and I hired on four years ago,” Reil says, “the Cinch Buckle was planned as a long-term deal. We’re disappointed in the change. But Grasslands gave us a tremendous amount of autonomy here. We feel like this has been our place.”

The Cinch Buckle lessee offered positions to the entire Grasslands ranch crew. The Reil family chose to move 113 miles south to Recluse, Wyoming to continue working for Grasslands. It’s a smaller ranch, and the Reil family will be the only ranch staff. Reil looks forward to setting up the holistic grazing plan and moving cattle horseback with his kids. “I want to romance them into ranching,” he chuckles.

Both Reil and Howell are passionate about raising cattle while the health of the landscape thrives. “Land self-renews and holds intrinsic value,” Howell says, “especially if it can produce food profitably and sustainably.” That’s Grasslands’ aim: profit through maximizing a ranch’s carrying capacity and grazing cattle to regenerate working landscapes. Both are the heartbeat of ranching.

“I want to romance them into ranching.”
