Giving New Life to the Term “Spring Cleaning” – Does Your Farm or AgriBusiness Have a Scanner?
I have to give a shout-out to a small little machine that has made a big difference to my life and law practice — the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M. In preparation of my move to my new office space at 535 Fifth Avenue, I spent the weekend scanning files and documents. I purchased this Bad Boy a few months ago and …

Blog Fodder Advice For Your Own Food & Agriculture Blog
I am oftentimes asked (by lawyers and non-lawyers) how I “come up with” ideas for blog posts. These people either have their own blog or are considering starting one.

Charitable Deductions
I’m blogging from downtown Denver, Colorado. I’m here for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (“NCBA”) Annual Convention and Trade Show. I came across an article last night by the Ohio agriculture law firm of Barrett, Easterday, Cunningham & Eselgroth, LLP regarding charitable deductions.

Available via Skype
I joined the Skype universe last summer but I finally took a little time this morning to learn how to use it on my iMac and iPhone4 with a colleague of mine.
