Agricultural Law
For many years,
Churchill Leonard has recognized the extent
of its practice originating from the Willamette
Valley agricultural community. The firm continues
to represent farmers, whether they are specialty
seed or vegetable producers or large scale
diversified farming operations with annual
sales of ten million dollars or more. The
firm also represents the buyers and handlers
of the 117 crops produced in Marion County
as well as the companies and cooperatives
which provide the materials, services, supplies
and capital to produce those crops. As a
result, the firm is familiar with all phases
of the agricultural production and marketing
cycle from seed breeding to soil fumigation
and carbon banding to protecting variety
names and enforcing rights to payment, as
well as the special statutory, administrative
law and code provisions unique to agricultural
operations. The firm works with landlords
as well as farm owners in the transfer of
agricultural operations from one generation
to another.
