Abstract
Legal services for small-scale farms need to be made accessible,
affordable, up to date, and relevant. This Essay presents three ways in
which a law practice can adapt to meet the complexity of needs of
small-scale farmers. These include, first, offering services in a manner
both accessible and affordable to farmers; second, developing
agreements with terms that match the realistic needs of farmers—
specifically, farm lease agreements; and, third, developing financing
arrangements that strike a balance between debt and equity financing.
