Our focus is on serving the needs of the agricultural industry.

Founded in 2015, Janzen Ag Law, now Janzen Schroeder Ag Law, is a law firm focused on the legal needs of a vibrant agricultural industry.

The pace of agricultural efficiency improvement in the past twenty-five years has been incredible. Tractors, combines, and other agricultural equipment--modern versions of industrial machines invented a century ago--can traverse acres at speeds inconceivable a few years ago. GPS guides machines on autopilot. Engineered crops resist disease, lessen erosion, and improve yields. Drones scout crops. Driverless tractors cross fields while the farmer monitors the machines remotely. Modernization has made traditional farming more efficient than ever.

Changes to agricultural production are not just confined to the field. Robotic milking machines milk cows. Robotic swine feeders provide growing pigs their exact nutritional requirements. Anaerobic digesters turn livestock waste into renewable natural gas and organic fertilizer. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors monitor animals for health and well-being around the clock. A modern livestock farm is a technologically advanced and connected business.

Farmers not only grow crops and produce livestock, but generate renewable energy from windmills, solar farms, and biogas from anaerobic digesters. Other activities, such as soil carbon sequestration and pore-space injection of compressed carbon dioxide, further farmers’ environmental role in sustainably taking care of the planet.

Farming is no longer an isolated occupation. Farmers today must answer to consumers demands. Nearly every business in the food supply chain must address traceability and sustainability requirements from those that consume their products. The world has changed.     

These changes are what bring us to work each day. They are why we built a law firm specifically tailored to the needs of those involved with agriculture--from the feed and input supplier, to the grower and producer, to the company that processes the raw products into food products.   

Our firm’s lawyers know farming because we came from farms, have rural backgrounds, and have a sincere interest in agriculture. We believe that those people focused on feeding a growing world deserve lawyers that understand and focus on what they do.  

We support development of ag leaders.

We support organizations that help develop tomorrow's leaders in agriculture.
