Discovering Resilience: A Legal Workshop for Farmers and Ranchers, Spring 2025

Discovering Resilience is a legal workshop that empowers farmers and ranchers with the legal knowledge and skills they need to resolve legal vulnerabilities.

Farmers and ranchers: Ever wonder if your farm is at risk because of a lurking legal problem? Do you wish you knew where to turn for the answers?

Those answers aren’t always easy to come by — especially for the most innovative, direct-to-consumer farmers. Discovering Resilience is a legal workshop designed just for you. You’ll walk away from this five-session, highly interactive, and producer-focused workshop ready to implement your own legal action plan and find legal answers with confidence. Plus, you’ll have a group of fellow producers to keep you on track.

Join us in learning the 10 best practices of farm legal risk management over 5 weeks.

March 4: Farm Law as Your Creative Power
March 11: Organize Your Farm Business for Legal Success
March 18: Growing a Legally Resilient Workforce
March 25: Access Farmland with Legal Confidence

Mark your calendars for Mondays 11:00am to 1:00pm Central Time (CT) for our online meeting and make the most of this workshop!
