Existing Operator Profiles

Select a row in the table and click Edit Selected to modify an existing operator's profile.

Headquarters

Choose how this operator's HQ is defined. You can leave it unset and fill it in later.

Multi-County Audit Inputs

If this operator claims activity in counties beyond the home office county (per AG Form / canvass), list them below. The Operation Addendum will run a 3-prerequisite feasibility audit against each one.

Form Help

  • Operator Name and Operator Type are required.
  • Headquarters is optional but strongly recommended — it drives the profile summary map, the wheel-and-spoke transport analysis, and the Val Vista / Montgomery functional-contribution test.
  • Pick the HQ kind that matches your best evidence:
    • Parcel — deeded HQ parcel (can be in a different county than the subject parcels).
    • Address — street / mailing address when there is no deeded HQ parcel.
    • Coordinates — lat/long when you only have a GPS pin (e.g., headquarters building on unpatented land).
  • GAMA Farm Group # lets you tie filings across multiple parcels.
  • Contact info is internal only.

Upload Process

  1. Select the operator
  2. Confirm tax year
  3. Upload CSV file
  4. System parses FolioKey1 values as private parcel APNs
  5. After upload, GIS lookup runs automatically
  6. Parcels appear in Profile Summary map

Scope: The GAMA farm report covers private parcels leased to the operator. Public leases (BLM, State Trust, Forest Service) are captured on the Lease Management tab.

Add/Edit Leases & Permits

Acres on the face of the lease (BLM allotment / ASLD parcel total).
Enter AUMs (animal-unit-months). If your source reports AUS (animal-units-sustained, year-round), multiply by 12. ASLD reports AUS; BLM reports AUMs.

Operator Leases

Candidate Public Leases (AZGEO + RAS name match)

These are leases in Arizona where the lessee/permittee name on file matches this operator's name or one of their family alias patterns. Some matches will be the same rancher under a different legal name; others may be unrelated families with the same surname. Review each variant and click Anchor to attach the leases to this operator. Nothing is anchored automatically.

Selecting a row anchors all leases in that variant.

Lease Types

BLM Allotment
Grazing allotment from Bureau of Land Management
ASLD Lease
Arizona State Land Department state trust lease
USFS Permit
US Forest Service grazing permit

Note: AUM (Animal Unit Month) data is internal intelligence only. Never include AUM totals in external reports per ACA-005.

Public Land Anchors

Anchors are the analyst's verification that this operator IS the documented lessee/permittee on a given BLM allotment or ASLD lease. Adding an anchor tells the pasture-cluster pipeline to absorb that public-land polygon into the operator's dissolved pasture exterior. Only add an anchor after you've reviewed proof (signed sublease packet, BLM Form 4130, RAS report screenshot).

If the operator submitted an Add Lease row above and the lease number matches a polygon in our reference data, the anchor was created automatically. Use this section when the lease number doesn't have a documented filing yet, or when verifying a BLM allotment held by the operator that they didn't file explicitly.

Rancher Profiles — Evidence Artifacts

Purpose: Versioned, finalized snapshots of a rancher's operation. A Profile is cited by a Grazing Analysis and becomes part of the evidence packet. Supersede creates a new version without breaking existing citations of the old version.

Operation Addendum

Compile a tax-year snapshot of the operation analysis (footprint, leases, scenarios, cohesion, unit burden) and lock it for record. Locked snapshots are immutable per tax year and can be re-rendered as a self-contained HTML addendum at any time.

Field Crop Feasibility

CropScape (NASS CDL) + NLCD cross-verification. CropScape identifies the crop type per year; NLCD provides independent land-cover corroboration for the same parcel.

About This Data: This module uses satellite imagery from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Cropland Data Layer (CDL) , commonly known as CropScape. Since 2008, NASS has published annual, geo-referenced maps of crop-specific land cover for the entire contiguous United States at 30-meter resolution. The CDL is produced by classifying satellite imagery (primarily Landsat) using supervised machine learning trained on USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) ground-truth data, state crop statistics, and other agricultural reference sources.

NASS collects this data to fulfill its congressional mandate to provide timely and accurate agricultural statistics for U.S. policy, trade, and market decisions. For ag classification purposes, CropScape provides objective, year-by-year satellite evidence of what was actually growing on a parcel — independent of what the owner claims. If a parcel shows “Developed” or “Shrubland” year after year with no crop signatures, that is strong evidence against active agricultural use. All imagery is publicly available at nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape .

Manual Coordinates (advanced)

Year Range

Default 2021-2025 = the 5-year statutory production window preceding tax year 2027 (current appeal cycle, noticed 02/21/2026). A.R.S. § 42-12152(B) requires 3 of the immediately preceding 5 years of active agricultural production. Selecting a case in the picker above shifts the range to that case's TY-driven window.

Available years: 2008 - 2025

Grazing Feasibility

Methodology-driven analysis. The per-parcel manual cost-stack form has been retired. Feasibility now computes from MCAO + the operator's profile snapshot + the locked- assumption cost stack and renders a court-ready Feasibility Brief. See §6 of the brief for the full equations, terms, and data sources.
Click to fetch MCAO + DB data for the selected case. Takes ~2-15 seconds depending on parcel count.

Outputs

The brief is a self-contained HTML report with a visual hero on page 1 (map + scatter + box plot + cost bar), §1–§5 evidence tables in the middle, and the methodology page on the back. The map is a separate Leaflet companion showing the operator's footprint, the appeal parcels, bridging state-trust polygons, and BLM allotments.

Case Workflow + Profile

Every workflow runs the same analytical core. Pick the workflow type and the rancher profile snapshot that will drive the analysis. The case's parcels-under-review are listed in the case record and will be evaluated against the chosen profile.

Court Case work that requires synthesis beyond the two standard addendums (discovery questions, FCV/LPV tax-savings analysis, rebuttal narrative) is composed in Cowork by the analyst — not generated by the droplet.

Operation Qualifier Gate

Six binary tests under A.R.S. § 42-12151 et seq. AU and acres are computed from the operator's leases and parcels at the case's tax year. Attestations are entered by the analyst. All six must pass for the operation to qualify; on failure, every parcel under review is denied without per-parcel cost analysis.

Totals (computed; override only if you have specific evidence)

New-operation strict intake

Per-Parcel Feasibility Test

Tests each parcel under review ( cases.apns ) against the operation in the case's selected profile snapshot. Uses the active locked-assumption version. Per-case overrides not permitted.

Export Addendums

Generates the two standard addendums for the current case: a Rancher Operation Addendum (DOCX) and a Per-Parcel Addendum (DOCX per APN, delivered as a ZIP). Synthesis beyond these — discovery questions, FCV/LPV, rebuttal — is composed in Cowork by the analyst.

Rancher Operation Addendum

Includes operation profile, qualifier-gate scorecard, pasture carrying-capacity (forage-based), locked-assumption appendix, and conclusion. Map exported separately as Exhibit M-1.

When checked: clusters whose full operating cost exceeds cattle production value are subtracted from §3.5's headline AUM/AU totals and listed separately in a 'Held for Further Investigation' table. Off keeps everything in the totals but still surfaces the cost-fail list.

Per-Parcel Addendums

One DOCX per APN in cases.apns that has a feasibility result. Delivered as a ZIP archive.

Grazing Feasibility Report (per appeal)

One-page HTML brief + standalone HTML map for the case's apns evaluated against the operator's TY footprint. Drop both into the appeal packet alongside the Operation Addendum and external NOVs/plats.
