Are bureaucrats crossing your Missouri farm’s property line? Our boundary dispute attorneys help farmers & ranchers retain authority over their land
Farm owners deserve peace of mind knowing their agricultural land won’t be taken at any moment by the federal government or outside entities. Unfortunately, many times in Missouri agriculture, corporations with little or no connection to the state wrongfully take advantage of farmland owners and agricultural businesses. They often cross these property lines and change the landscape for their own use, whether it’s to make room for powerlines, develop new factories, or obtain space for a business parking lot. For years, government organizations have also abused eminent domain laws, claiming ownership of agricultural land for “public benefit” while failing to compensate the landowners involved and only serving the government’s interests. The most common cases of eminent domain abuse include:
- The government takes control of agricultural property without giving proper notice or getting consent from the owner.
- Eminent domain is exercised for a private individual or corporation instead of the public like intended.
- Farmers & ranchers don’t receive fair compensation for the true value of their land.
- A government organization engages in discriminatory practices and targets individual landowners based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
At Haden & Colbert, we believe farmers have the right to their private property, as well as just compensation and due process rights when their land is approached. If you believe you have a boundary dispute lawsuit on your hands, you need to get in touch with our reliable agricultural lawyers as soon as possible. Reach out before your valued Missouri land is gone for good.
The agricultural attorneys at Haden & Colbert stay current on Missouri’s agricultural fence laws, supporting farmers with counsel during tedious fence disputes
If you own livestock, accommodating local fence rules is of the utmost importance. Missouri is a closed-range state, meaning livestock owners are responsible for keeping their cattle, sheep, or other livestock contained within a
lawful fence. However, fence laws can vary in detail depending on the county where you operate your farm, and there are specific additional rules if your land is near a highway, railroad, or body of water. Some Missouri counties comply with general fence law, while others opt into local option fence law provisions. Make sure to contact your county commissioner to stay informed and ensure you are complying with your region’s fence regulations, and have your fencing inspected regularly to prevent dilemmas in the future.
When livestock escape, they can cause damage and harm to neighboring property or people, which could hold the owner liable for covering expensive costs if negligence is proven. At Haden & Colbert, our broad knowledge of fence laws allows us to effectively represent you. We represent plaintiffs and defendants across the state of Missouri with their fence disputes, working tenaciously towards a favorable result in local courts.
