Basic Legal Agreements for Farm Business Management

November 27, 2018

Basic Legal Agreements for Farm Business Management

Legal agreements can help a farm businesses plan ahead, minimize risk, and respond to adverse events. Farmers have access to a wide range of legal tools to address specific concerns. These include lease agreements, buy-sell agreements, promissory notes, operating agreements, wills, and even prenuptial agreements.

Farmers interested in learning how legal agreements can strengthen their businesses are invited to attend this free workshop on Basic Legal Agreements for Farm Business Management. We are excited to host speaker Anna Richards from the Cornell University PRO-DAIRY program. Attendees will learn about different legal agreements that are commonly used in farm business management, with an emphasis on Operating Agreements for LLCs.

This is a free event, and pre-registration is appreciated. For questions or to register please contact Mary Kate Wheeler by email at mkw87@cornell.edu or by phone at (607) 687-4020.
