HOW COULD GIFTING FARMLAND BENEFIT YOU?
SIMPLIFY your future estate
DIVERSIFY your income by potentially
funding an income stream for life
QUALIFY for tax deductions
POTENTIALLY INCREASE your income
from the farm, while reducing the
expenses and obligations of owning
farmland
GIVE BACK to Iowa State

“The anticipated income from the 50% interest
donated to the trust is greater than receiving 100%
of the cash rent from the entire farm. When you
are making a sizable contribution like a gift of land,
you want to make sure it is to an entity that is going
to be around for a long time and is responsible.
Iowa State University withstands the test of time.”
— Lloyd Bettis, B.S. ’70 Agricultural Journalism
Lloyd and Kathryn Bettis receive income from a gift of farmland
through a charitable remainder trust with Iowa State designated
as the beneficiary.
