The Summerland Advocate-Messenger - Reliable, Trustworthy Reporting, Capturing The Heartbeat Of Our Community

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture and Legal Aid of Nebraska are hosting free farm finance clinics in June. The clinics are one-on-one, not group sessions, and are confidential.

The legal and financial clinic gives farmers a chance to meet with an experienced ag law attorney and farm financial counselor. Clinic staff specialize in legal and economic issues related to farming and ranching, including business planning, estate and transition planning, farm loan programs, debtor/creditor law and other relevant matters. It is an opportunity to obtain an experienced outside opinion on issues that may be affecting a farm or ranch.

Clinic dates for the month of June include June 18 and June 24.

For the time being. clinics are being conducted as conference calls or as Zoom meetings. It is therefore possible to attend a clinic from any location in the state. In-person clinics are expected to resume in the future, at which time locations will be announced.

To sign up for a clinic or for more information, call Michelle at the Nebraska Rural Response Hotline at 1-800-464-0258.
