Agriculture Law

Drawing upon his experience growing up on the family farm and continuing participation in management of the farm, Scott Flynn has been able to assist experienced and beginning farmers in their operations. Agricultural Law actually touches many other traditional practice areas of law, but involves the unique twists in the law applicable to farming operations. Some of the areas our office assists agricultural clients include:


  • Farm Leases

  • Farm Estate and Business Success Planning

  • Business Entity Formation, organization and maintenance

  • Compliance with corporate farming regulations

  • Real Estate transactions

  • Boundary, fence and drainage issues

  • Employment and labor issues

  • Landowner liability and Iowa's recreational use statute

  • Agricultural liens

  • Beginning Farmer tax credits and loan programs


Iowa law restricts the ownership of agricultural land by business entities. However, business entities are useful and necessary tools in organization and operations of modern family farm enterprises. Our firm can help guide clients through the restrictions to meet their management and succession planning needs.
