What is agricultural law?

Agricultural law is a unique blend of traditional fields of law- this includes the law of contracts, bailments, torts, criminal, environmental (both state and federal), property, nuisance, wills and estates, and the mind-numbing tax law.

As such, agricultural law is not entirely "new" law; rather it is a gathering and harvesting of provisions of statutory and common law. Thomas Jefferson, himself a farmer, advocated the moral and physical benefits accrued from farming. Indeed, today there still exists in America a sort of homage to the "ideal living" on a farm.

This country, before its first centennial was concerned about its farmers and ranchers. Thus, the United States Department of Agriculture was born.
