Agricultural Law

The modern farm is a complex business operation that requires the owner/operator to wear many different hats and make complex and wide ranging decisions. The lawyers of Russell, English, Scoma & Beneke, P.C. are experienced in helping the farm owner/operator answer questions concerning agricultural issues which range from estate planning and choice of operating entity to the purchase and sale of real estate and equipment. Our attorneys are experienced in drainage law, farm crop leases, wind farm leases, grain contracts, employment concerns, Section 1031 like-kind real estate exchanges, and the unique challenges concerning estate planning for farm families. Sensitive to the concerns and responsive to the needs of our farm clients, we are proud of the many relationships we have formed with generations of farm families.
