Professional Representation for Producers and Farmers<\/p>\n
Agriculture is one of the most regulated industries in the United States.\u00a0 Between Crop Insurance disputes, Non-Insured Crop Disaster Claims, loans, contracts and business problems, today’s producers and farmers need steady and affordable representation.\u00a0 Our agriculture practice is designed to help your farm with just about any problem it could face.\u00a0 Furthermore, we offer free consultations, on-site meetings at your convenience, and personal service.\u00a0 We are a boutique practice that is perfect for your needs.<\/p>\n
The non-insured crop disaster program grants monetary relief to producers whose crops have been damaged by a natural disaster.\u00a0 Our attorneys can file claims on behalf of your farm in the event of losses resulting from these disasters.<\/p><\/li>
In the event of a crop loss that was supposed to be covered by insurance, we help producers file and resolve claims with insurance companies.\u00a0 Our representation includes everything from negotiation to arbitration or litigation.<\/p><\/li>
Our attorneys have more than a decade of contract and complex business planning and litigation.\u00a0 We help farmers draft, review and build contracts to avoid problems before they occur.\u00a0 In the event problems have already come up, our agriculture attorneys practice in state, federal and appellate courts.<\/p><\/li>
Our agriculture attorneys assist farmers and producers with water and environmental issues that are raised by the county, state or federal government.\u00a0 Our assistance can help to keep your farm operating without problems with the red tape.<\/p><\/li>\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
The Natural Resource Conservation Service offers a number of programs which are designed to help farmers and producers limit risk.\u00a0 Some of these programs, like the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), offer monetary pay outs to participate in the program.\u00a0 If your farm or land has been enrolled in the CSP and had its payments reduced or rescinded, we can help.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a program which provides financial assistance to participants who have established conservation practices.\u00a0 To participate, you have to submit a conservation plan to the National Resource Conservation Service.\u00a0 Once enrolled, you can receive technical assistance and a number of types of payment assistance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
The Food Security Act (FSA) encourages participants in USDA programs to adopt land management measures with respect to wetlands.\u00a0 This is designed to protect wetland functions and values.\u00a0 The FSA specifically ties benefits eligibility to farming practices on wetlands.\u00a0 In some cases agricultural production on former wetlands is prohibited.\u00a0 Our agriculture lawyers can advise and defend your farm in wetland disputes with the USDA.<\/p>\n\t
