From the Chair

As we transition out of the COVID restrictions, I hope that you find it filled with new possibilities.  Zoom has provided great help these past two years while reminding us that in-person meetings provide so much more than simple information. 

As lawyers, we learn how to do legal research, particularly when a client presents us with a problem.

What I provide below is a list of resources to help us keep current with food and ag related issues.  Some of these require a membership or a small subscription but many are free.
