Agricultural Law Seminar

Catalog description

Agricultural Law addresses two general subjects: (1) the business and economic regulation aspects of the industry and (2) environmental regulation. As for the first general subject, the course deals with the Farm Bill and its administration, restrictions on business entities in farming, land leases and purchases, commercial regulation like Articles 2, 7 and 9 of the UCC, and other subjects that are unique to the agricultural industry. As for the second general subject, the course covers the Clean Water Act and the Conservation Title of the Farm Bill. This course serves as a good introduction to the more general subjects it implicates. You could also use it as a "capstone" to see how the more general subjects you have covered apply in the agricultural industry.
