What Boa Safra Ag does

Boa Safra Ag, LLC, founded in 2016 by Tyler Bruch and Bryce Irlbeck, is a privately held agricultural tax deduction services provider headquartered in Manning, Iowa, operating as a fully remote team. The company serves agricultural landowners, farmers, and ranchers across all 50 states with its proprietary Legacy Nutrient Deductions™ process, a turnkey service that combines GPS-located soil sampling at multiple depth profiles, laboratory nutrient analysis, hindcasting algorithms for prior-year property acquisitions, and the generation of comprehensive IRS-compliant reports (typically dozens to hundreds of pages) that support federal income tax deductions under Sections 167, 168, 180, and 611 of the tax code. Pricing is set at approximately $40 per acre, billed one-third upfront and two-thirds upon report delivery, and the company has served more than 5,000 customers, completed nearly 6,000 reports, and unlocked an average $1,700 per acre in deductions—a cumulative $500M+ since 2019, with a 100% no-change success rate across all six IRS audits.

The underlying technology stack includes GPS-located soil sampling with documented chain of custody, proprietary hindcasting algorithms that reconstruct legacy nutrient volumes at the time of purchase for properties acquired up to 20 years ago, and historical nutrient pricing databases that account for temporal and geographic price variances. Boa Safra distributes through a dual GTM model: direct enterprise field sales supported by Account Leads who manage over 1,000 accounts annually, alongside a programmatic channel partner network spanning banks, mortgage lenders, national brokers, CPA firms, and land managers—with notable formalized referral arrangements including a major regional lender in Nebraska. The company is targeting owner-operators and passive investors ranging from 12 to 40,000 acres, with the partner network positioned to drive systematic lead flow and improve credit profiles of agricultural loan portfolios.

The business is concentrated on a single unified service offering, supported by a professionalized C-suite (CEO, COO, CFO, CRO, CMO) and a Director of Company Strategy & Development with explicit M&A mandate. Recent organizational investments include AI/data engineering hires, direct mail capacity exceeding 3 million pieces dispatched, and a $45.98M funding round closed in 2026 to support scaling and inorganic growth.
