Our Agribusiness Practice
We serve individuals and commercial enterprises involved in agribusiness, including:
- Farmers/owners of dairy, hog and grain farms. We offer a broad range of services to owners and operators of agribusinesses, including advice on choice of entity, such as family limited partnership or limited liability company (LLC), as well as succession planning. We help farmers secure financing to build and expand, review all proposed financing agreements to ensure you get the best deal, and handle the myriad of business issues confronting farmers, suppliers and buyers, including meat packers and milk processors, on a daily basis.
- Renewable energy and biomass. We represent businesses that build, manage and maintain renewable energy and biomass projects, from wind and solar to the use of old tires, trash, sludge, cow manure and slaughterhouse entrails for biomass power.
- We also provide counsel to feed mills, auction houses, brokers, truckers/haulers, vegetable and other produce growers, food processors and distributors.
