About the partner
About LandOption
LandOption is an agricultural land-development company that helps landowners explore solar, renewable, and other land-use opportunities. The firm built its model around a structured discovery and decision process designed to fit the working realities of farmers, ranchers, and rural landholders.
Their reach runs through a network of approximately 90 trusted local advisors they call dealers, typically farm CPAs, seed dealers, and farm managers. Each dealer carries 20 to 100 producers and operates inside the agricultural Midwest.
The result is a partner that meets producers where they already are. Rather than asking landowners to navigate solar developers, easement attorneys, and tax specialists on their own, LandOption coordinates the conversation through advisors the producer already trusts.
Why we partnered
Why Strike and LandOption work together
Agricultural operations are running operational research and development every season. Cover-crop trials, tillage strategy shifts, biological additive trials, irrigation upgrades, and precision agriculture deployments all involve iterative testing against measurable outcomes. Until recently, these activities were rarely framed as qualifying research for the federal R&D credit.
The February 2026 Tax Court ruling in George v. Commissioner changed that. The court confirmed that agricultural operations qualify for the federal R&D credit when they pass the four-part test under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ruling is now a key reference point for practitioners advising agricultural clients on the credit.
The partnership with LandOption brings credible R&D credit support to the producer and dealer network at a moment when the agricultural audience is actively reassessing the credit. LandOption already holds the trust of the dealer network. Strike brings the federal R&D credit specialty, the substantiation method, and the IRS examination defense practice to that audience.
