I’ve always been really interested in general in food systems and the processed food endpoint part and also the growing of food. I became interested in researching the legal aspect of it because of my teaching in Wisconsin.
I grew up on a grain and livestock farm in southern Indiana so farming has always been my thing. It’s where I was at home. When I went to college and majored in agribusiness management, I intended to go to work in ag sales, marketing, management or at least along that line.
I have been an active member of the agricultural law profession for more than 20 years. I joined at the insistence of my former boss and former AALA President, Patricia Jensen, who told me “if you want to know what’s going on in agricultural law, you HAVE to be a member of this organization and attend the annual symposium. The “Who’s Who” of ag law are there, and you need to meet them.”
I’m a transactional real estate attorney. I came out of law school in 2008, which was not a good time to be a real estate attorney in the U.S. I was lucky have a few large retail office and condominium projects that kind of kept me busy during the recession.
AALA is pleased to announce that Maureen Kelly Moseman has accepted an offer to serve as our new executive director.
I am from Michigan even though I am in Arkansas right now, and I grew up on a small family farm. My family has a truck garden farm, and we’ve gone to our farmers market for several generations.
I practiced for a number of years at Faegre Baker Daniels, which is an ag law practice and moved to Drake almost exactly 5 years ago. Now I am the Associate Director of the Agricultural Law Center at Drake Law School and the Director of Career Development at Drake Law School based in Des Moines.
