Does anyone know what the comparative form in WinTotal is called?
I thinkt that he may be referring to a agricultural software package and it is not a form but is a complete appraisal system - Agware or
www.uaar.net , i think ASFMRA has a link to it if that doesn't work. Assuming it hasn't changed much in 10 years, the form is very much geared towards row crops and non-building intensive agriculture. The software is expensive and near worthless for a poultry farm. You, in effect, have to supplement the forms with narrative and I would venture it would take 2 - 3 days just to fill out the forms correctly the first time if you had everything laid out in front of you. And again, you would be doing idiotic land analyses even if your site is 5 acres. Try finding "pure" land sales for that. Further, while it contains the FmHA forms, they are hardly better.
Is there some rational reason the lawyer wants this on a UAAR form? Or, is he just not wanting to have it on a URAR? I mean, locally we had an appraiser submit one to FSA on a URAR for a rather complex poultry farm. FSA finally sent their own appraiser over to appraise it. Of course that appraiser is now a fannie mae Review appraiser....chicken poop really does float to the top doesn't it?
So, does this involve the crooked lawyers taking cases for Hmong poultry farmers? Or are you defending them. They found, by far, the crookedest appraiser in Oklahoma to "prove" that Hmong paid too much. He uses the FmHA form and 90 pages of unnumbered 'documentation' and didn't even tell you how he arrived at his "cap rate"...He claimed he "confirmed the rate from a competing appraisers report."....which under cross exam was my report from 2 years previous...Never mind he used gas expenses that were double and even triple what the gas company man, under oath, said the average farmer he serviced was paying...nor did he even mention that my 2 year old report reflected gas prices that were a fraction of the price gas currently cost..Then he claims he did not use any Hmong sales because ALL sales to Hmongs were not arm's length because the buyers were "uninformed"..never mind a Hmong sold the farm to the guy, his agent was a Hmong, and that appraiser used a sale that involved a Laotian but did not recognize the name as Laotian.....
If you'd like a copy of this scumbag's report and you are on the defendant's side, I will mail you a copy of it once I confirm your lawyer is, in fact, defending those sued by the Hmong.
