Explain the importance of oral farm leases to farmers in Arkansas?
There’s about 14 million acres in farms in Arkansas, with a large portion of the farming population being over the age of 50. Many farmers and ranchers are not always comfortable with written documents and operate on a handshake. A large portion of Arkansas’s agricultural land is under an oral farmland lease.

As we begin a new year many rental agreements are renewed for what we hope will be a successful relationship between landlord and tenant. However, creating a good lease is not easy and requires some careful thought by both parties. In general, a good lease is one in which both parties agree it’s fair and both completely understand each other’s expectations.

Do I have a legal claim against my veterinarian?
You notice some of your cattle have been ill for the pass few days; a few with diarrhea and some standing apart from the herd. You phone your veterinarian to come out. The next morning, your veterinarian arrives, examines part of your herd and he detects that a few have a moderate fever but no other signs. He takes a few blood samples and then tells you that he does not believe that there is anything to worry about, though he wants the results of the blood specimens before he can say for sure, one-way-or-the-other. The next morning, you find three dead, a cow that had aborted and before your veterinarian returns, another dies. Your veterinarian now suspects acute pasteurellosis. A disease that he heard about in veterinary school but has never encountered in his years of practice.
