Agricultural Litigation

Agricultural litigation requires specialized understanding of the unique economic factors affecting farming and agribusiness operations. Our experts bring deep knowledge of dairy operations, crop production, livestock management, and agricultural economics to deliver precise, defensible testimony.

Types of Cases

Stray Voltage

Economic damages from electrical interference affecting dairy production, livestock health, and farm operations.

Toxic Feed

Losses from contaminated feed including reduced milk production, veterinary costs, and herd replacement.

Equipment Failure

Damages from defective machinery, milking equipment, and storage systems affecting farm productivity.

Crop Loss

Economic impact of crop damage from chemicals, flooding, equipment, or other causes.

Livestock Valuation

Fair market value assessments for cattle, dairy herds, and other livestock in dispute.

Land & Easement Disputes

Economic impact of land use restrictions, easements, and property disputes on farm operations.

Our Approach

We conduct thorough economic analyses that account for the specific characteristics of each agricultural operation:

Historical production analysis using farm records, DHIA data, and industry benchmarks
But-for projections estimating what production would have been absent the harm
Lost profits calculation including milk sales, cull values, and breeding stock
Increased costs such as veterinary expenses, replacement animals, and remediation
