One of my absolute favorite agricultural law topics is Right to Farm statutes.  In fact, I wrote my law school paper on this topic nearly 10 years ago.  I like to say, I did Right to Farm before Right to Farm was cool! Today, my friend Ashley Ellixson joins me to talk all about Right to Farm statutes.  What are they?  How do they apply?  What are some key terms in statutes across the country?  We cover all of this and more in this podcast episode.   Contact Info for Ashley Ellixson (Email address) aellixson@UDAZ.ORG (Twitter)  https://twitter.com/Legally_Ashley   Links to topics mentioned on the show -  National Agricultural Law Center Right to Farm law compilation - "Understanding and Interpreting Right to Farm Laws" - Texas Right to Farm Law blog post - Ag Law in the Field Podcast with Jake Parker (NC Nuisance Litigation)

2017 has been an exciting year for agricultural law.  Today, my friend Paul Goeringer, Extension Legal Specialist with the University of Maryland, joins me on a joint podcast to discuss some of the top legal stories of this year. To check out Paul's podcast, click here. The topics we have selected for our list (and links to blog posts discussing these issues in great detail) are: Dicamba  Waters of the United States Syngenta Air emission reporting under federal law "Ag gag" litigation in Utah and Idaho "Total pollution exclusion" insurance coverage dispute Scope of Endangered Species Act for intrastate animals Additionally, we've previously done podcast episodes on two of these topics--WOTUS was the topic in Episode #3 with Jim Bradbury and "Ag gag" was featured in Episode #19 with Ashley Ellixson. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast this year, we'll look forward to more ag law excitement in 2018!  Happy Holidays to you and yours!

"Ag gag" statutes have been in the news lately as several Constitutional challenges have been filed against this type of statute.  Only a handful of states have passed this type of legislation, which seeks to prohibit trespassing on or providing false information to obtain employment at an agricultural operation.  Federal trial level courts in Idaho and Utah have found their respective state's "ag gag" statutes unconstitutional.  Additionally, a Wyoming federal court recently held that the First Amendment applied to a state statute there prohibiting trespassing on private property to collect resource data. On today's episode, Ashley and I discuss these statutes, the background upon which they arose, and the recent litigation decisions in these court cases.

Today's podcast features my friend Ashley Ellixson, the Vice President of Legal and Environmental Affairs for the United Dairymen of Arizona.  We focus on two areas during our conversation today.   First, we talk about the winding, interesting path Ashley took from law school to landing her dream job with United Dairymen of Arizona.  She offers some great insight to anyone in the trenches working towards a job they have always wanted.  Her examples of flat out working hard and how she used networking to her advantage are both humorous and inspiring.  , Second, we talked briefly about some of the key legal issues facing the dairy industry.  Not surprisingly, animal rights was at the top of her list.  We discuss the FARM program, which helps to encourage and equip farmers to implement the newest and best animal handling and care practices.  Next, we turned our attention to farm labor and discussed the difficulties for the dairy industry when it comes to immigrant labor and not fitting into the current H2A visa program.  We also discuss the importance of dairy farms having their ducks in a row when it comes to I9 verifications for all employees.  Lastly, we discussed the importance of trade policy on the dairy industry nationwide. We closed out the show with Ashley offering the Waters of the United States Rule ("WOTUS") as the one law she would like to see changed and offering a restaurant recommendation for a good steak at Las Brisas in Lubbock, Texas.   Contact Information for Ashley Ellixson (Email address) aellixson@UDAZ.ORG (Twitter)  https://twitter.com/Legally_Ashley   Links to topics mentioned on the show: - United Dairymen of Arizona - American Agricultural Law Association - FARM Program - I-9 Fact Sheet - WOTUS podcast with Jim Bradbury

After a week off (sorry Paul messed up on scheduling), the podcast is back with a discussion on business organization structures on the farm.  Paul is joined again by Ashley Ellixson to discuss their publication on various types of business structures and how those structures can be utilized on farms to limit liability and act as a farm succession tool. Tools discussed in this podcast: Ellixson, Ashley, A Family Farm Business Entity in Maryland: What You Need to Know (April 2015); and Ellixson, Ashley and Paul Goeringer, Using a Business Organization Structure to Limit Your Farm’s Liability (March 2015).

Producers are collecting and relying more on ag data collected by farm equipment.  Much of this data might be uploaded to the "cloud" and stored with third party.  Storing with third parties can lead to questions of who owns farm data?  In this episode, Paul is joined by his colleague, Ashley Ellixson, extension legal specialist, and Dr. Terry Griffin, cropping systems economist, Kansas State University.

One issue related to drones and privacy we have not dealt with so far is: “Can I shoot down a drone over my property?”  The simple answer to this question is NO!  Shooting down a drone flying over your property is never a good idea. In this episode, I discuss why it's never a good idea to shoot down a drone. Remember if you have questions please email me at lgoering@umd.edu or tweet me at @aglawPaul.  Feel free to send thoughts on other podcasts to me as well.
