Agricultural & Agri-Business Litigation

Our lawyers have a long and close relationship with the Mississippi agricultural community. In addition to representing both large and small farmers and farming operations in litigation matters ranging from work-related injuries experienced by farmhands to accidents on roadways involving tractors and other farming equipment, our lawyers have represented seed companies, cooperatives, and flying services.

Representative Matters

Representative matters we have handled include:

Successfully defended a large farming entity wherein the Plaintiff received severe injury when livestock owned by the Defendant was on the roadway and was struck by the Plaintiff’s vehicle. Aggressive cross examination showed that the Defendant farmer properly maintained his pastures and it was an unavoidable accident after a recent storm that had caused a tree to fall across a fence and permitted the cattle to escape.

Successfully defended a farmer whose cattle had gotten into the adjacent farmer landowner’s   property and did significant crop damage.

Successfully represented a major farming entity, defending crop insurance claims, handled mining permits and grain/silo disputes.

Successfully represented major supplier of agricultural inputs in insolvency of indebted co-op. Obtained lien on products and proceeds and succeeded in obtaining both repossession of products and substantial payment on outstanding indebtedness.

Clients

Our client list of local farmers includes Hayes Farming, Hayes Gravel, and Billy Sullivan Farms, among many other farming entities, as well as Agriliance, LLC, a division of Land-O-Lakes.
