The latest issues in agricultural law appear regularly on a
frequently updated Iowa State University Extension website.
The Iowa State
Agricultural Law Program has developed an expanded section
as part of the
Ag Decision
Maker website, which provides a wealth of agricultural
business information. Roger McEowen, Leonard Dolezal
Professor in Agricultural Law, offers commentary on recent
legal opinions from Iowa courts and summaries of opinions of
other U.S. federal and state courts of primary importance to
agriculture.
Items of current interest to farmers, farm consultants,
practitioners and others interested in agricultural legal
issues are also available, including information on taxes,
contracts, legal terms and business arrangements.
The site can be reached directly at:
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wdlegalandtaxes.html
The Ag Decision Maker website (http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm)
is designed for farmers, lenders, farm managers and other
professionals involved in agriculture and/or the
representation of agricultural clients. It offers a wide
range of business information on legal and tax issues,
marketing, leasing, land values, costs and returns and new
business development among other topics.
The website is updated frequently and interested persons can
sign up to receive a free monthly e-mail notification of the
items that have been added to the site during the previous
month. The e-mail sign up is available by accessing Ag
Decision Maker's homepage and clicking on "Current
Newsletter and Updates" at the top of the page. Sign up is
also available by sending an e-mail to:
agdm@iastate.edu.
