Skilled Kansas Attorneys Handling in All Aspects of Agriculture Law
Who needs an agriculture lawyer?
Farm owners and other Kansans who work in agriculture face many challenges unique to the industry. A farm is not just a place of business, but often a home and/or a source of income for many generations of a family. Farms also have a distinct relationship with the United States government in which they are eligible for extensive subsidies for supplying their communities with essential nourishment.
Whether you are addressing a new legal matter that’s arisen, seeking help obtaining critical subsidies, or simply planning for your farm’s future, if you are in the industry, you need an experienced agriculture attorney who can guide you through the seen and unforeseen hurdles that often come with owning a farm. Hannah L. Brass, Attorney at Law provides the legal guidance that clients in the agricultural industry need. This guidance is informed by the benefit of first-hand knowledge. Hannah L. Brass, Attorney at Law is a fourth-generation Kansas rancher who brings practical experience to skilled legal representation.
Agriculture law and regulations
Agricultural land covers more than 45 million acres in Kansas—about 90 percent of the state—so it’s easy to see how important agribusiness is here. The laws concerning agriculture are both complex and extensive. Most significant is the way in which so many other legal areas intersect in agricultural legal issues. Corporate law, contractual law, environmental law, estate law, regulatory law and compliance, tax law, and transactional law often all play roles in agricultural matters.
