Representative experience
AgValue’s experience with greenhouse and nursery operations requires an understanding of the complete agricultural asset—not simply acreage or building area. The scope can encompass land, specialized improvements, supporting infrastructure, production systems, and relevant machinery and equipment.
The valuation considers how the physical components function together, the market for continued agricultural use, and the evidence appropriate to the assignment. This integrated approach gives owners, lenders, investors, fiduciaries, and legal professionals a clear and supportable view of value.
Project profile
Willoway Nurseries is one of the Midwest’s largest wholesale growers and ranks among the nation’s leading nursery operations. Its footprint encompasses approximately 550 acres of field production, 450 acres of container stock, and 32 acres of climate-controlled greenhouses.
The operation carries more than 2,000 plant varieties, including shade and ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens, perennials, and flowering annuals. The production system connects land, controlled environments, water, equipment, inventory, and distribution.
In 2013, a Farm Credit association engaged AgValue in a joint valuation of the highly specialized facility. AgValue has since participated in portfolio updates and other nursery assignments covering real estate, machinery and equipment, business assets, and inventory.
