01What it does

What Indiana Agricultural Law Foundation Inc does

Mission

Provide research, education, and financial support in precedent setting legal issues, particularly matters of concern to the agricultural community. IALF seeks to further the understanding of agricultural legal issues within the agricultural community, the three branches of government, legal community and the public at large through education, research and litigation.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Indiana Agricultural Law Foundation INAgLaw supports litigation which has the potential to establish legal precedent and clarity on matters of concern to the agricultural community in Indiana. INAgLaw seeks to further the understanding of agricultural legal issues within the agricultural community, the public, and the judicial branch of government. This past year saw the culmination of multiple cases supported by INAgLaw. One case involved agricultural property tax, and the reclassification of agricultural land to excess rural residential. The result of this case clarified the legal standard of agricultural use and was a positive outcome for Indiana agriculture. Another case involving the establishment of a conservation district and the required notice and specificity of describing the impacted rural land is supported by the INAgLaw and continues. Each of these cases were important to Indiana farmers and landowners.

  2. INAgLaw creates and supports educational programs that address legal issues facing farmers. Estate and succession planning impacts every farm in the state of IN. In July 2025, INAgLaw held the 12th installment of its annual series Estate Succession Planning for the Family Farm Also, INAgLaw held its 2nd workshop on family farm succession. Seven multi generation Indiana farm families attended an in-person event facilitated by an industry expert and left with a formalized plan to assist in the succession of their farm. INAgLaw coordinated the 4th installment of the Ag Planning and Zoning School and updated the Ag Zoning Guide. INAgLaw coordinated the 2nd annual Agricultural Contracting program highlighting the different types of contracts and their role in production agriculture. CLE credits were offered to attorneys attending the programs with the exception of the succession workshop. INAgLaw also facilitated numerous telephone calls and Zoom meetings on agricultural law issues and continues to help farmers find attorneys to represent their interests when necessary.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
