Washington's agricultural land varies dramatically from region to region, dryland wheat country in the Palouse, irrigated row crops in the Columbia Basin, orchards and vineyards in the Yakima Valley, and grazing land east of the Cascades. Valuing that land correctly requires an appraiser who understands those differences firsthand. 

Colten Yager is a Certified General Appraiser and working farm manager who provides accurate, well-documented farmland and ranchland appraisals throughout Washington State, including Whitman, Walla Walla, Yakima, and Spokane counties. His recent work includes appraising thousands of acres of wheat farmland and cattle pasture in Whitman County, giving him direct, current insight into how Washington's ag land market is actually trading.

Washington landowners hire Colten for appraisals tied to real decisions selling farmland or a ranch, transferring land to the next generation, securing a loan against agricultural property, or valuing conservation easements and CRP acreage. 

Every appraisal Colten delivers is USPAP-compliant and written to be understood, clear enough for a landowner to follow, and thorough enough to stand up to lenders, attorneys, and tax authorities. Clients also appreciate that he can speak directly to marketability, since he actively sells and manages farmland across the state, not just appraises it from behind a desk.

If you need a reliable appraisal for farmland, ranchland, or rural acreage anywhere in Washington State, reach out to Colten Yager. From the Palouse to the Columbia Basin, he brings the local knowledge and appraisal expertise Washington landowners depend on to get an accurate number they can act on.
