Reference information:
Techniquement on peut distinguer les notions d’améliorations culturales et d’arrières fumures.
- "Les arrières fumures sont les reliquats organiques et minéraux des trois dernières années, provenant essentiellement des résidus des récoltes.
Elles résultent des pratiques culturales et profitent à l'entrant".
- “L’amélioration culturale apparaît comme les actes de culture que le preneur n’était pas obligé de faire, dont l’absence ne nuirait pas au fonds et qui ont pour effet direct de porter la composition du sol à un niveau qualitatif supérieur”
En droit civil, les notions d’arrières fumures et d’améliorations culturales sont maintenant confondues suite à une série de décisions jurisprudentielles.
En droit fiscal, cette valeur immobilisée, non amortissable est effective et figure au bilan de l'exploitation. Elle peut se calculer de plusieurs manières.
Les calculs sont réalisés conformément aux barèmes édités par la commission technique de l'Union Régionale des Experts Agricoles et Fonciers du NORD de la France et du Bassin Parisien.

Glad the ref helped. I don't do agricultural texts but was pretty sure you'd know once you saw a clear explanation.

Asker: So it's basically compost that is considered a fixed asset that is passed on to the incoming farmer, except this guy took over an abandoned farm, and did not benefit from the prior outgoing farmer's granting him the same. Thanks!!
