Limited Liability Companies
Taxation. While farming is provided with a number of very attractive options (including cash basis reporting where corporate or syndicated ownership does not prohibit its election), the taxation of limited liability companies, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships are governed by Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code which is certainly one of the more complex areas of the tax code with a number of potential elections where partners die, buy new interests, sell interests, liquidate partnership interests or own other entities taxed as partnerships (so called tiered partnerships). An area where substantial caution is called for in structuring transactions outside of the normal operations of the agricultural entity.

Employment Litigation
Employment Issues. As farming operations grow and employees are hired, often little consideration is given to all the laws and rules relating to being an employer. Whether you have a few employees or a lot of employees, there are forms that must be completed, rules that must be followed and policies that should be in place.
