Your Farm. Your Family. Your Legacy.

You Didn't Build This
to Lose It

You’ve spent decades getting up before sunrise, pushing through Nebraska harvest seasons, managing the margins, and putting everything back into the ground. Your parents did it before you, and maybe your kids plan to do the same.

But here’s what keeps Nebraska farm families up at night: without the right legal plan, everything you’ve built is one bad document — or one missing document — away from falling apart. A poorly drafted will that splits the operation. A wind lease that doesn’t hold up. A family disagreement that turns into a courtroom battle.

That’s why Midwest Ag Law exists. Headquartered right here in Henderson, Nebraska — not to sell you legal services, but to make sure the farm, the ranch, and the business you’ve poured your life into actually survives you.

Here's What Changes When You Have the Right Plan

family_history

The Farm Stays in the Family

Your succession plan is clear, funded, and legally airtight under Nebraska law. Your children know exactly what’s happening — no guesswork, no Lancaster County courtroom surprises, and no siblings fighting over who gets the quarter section.

Your Assets Are Protected

Your Nebraska land, equipment, and livestock are structured properly. Long-term care costs won’t drain the operation. The entity structure fits how your operation actually runs — not some generic template from an Omaha or Lincoln city firm.

You Actually Understand Your Plan

No 40-page documents full of legal jargon. You’ll understand every piece of your plan, why it matters under Nebraska probate rules, and exactly what happens next. Because a plan you don’t understand is a plan that doesn’t work.

How We Help

Legal Services Built for Agriculture

Every practice area we handle is rooted in the real challenges that farmers, ranchers, and ag business owners face every day.

Farm Succession & Estate Planning

Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and succession plans designed for Nebraska agricultural operations. Includes trust funding and asset retitling — because a trust that isn’t funded doesn’t protect your Platte Valley farm.

Probate & Trust Administration

When a family member passes, the last thing you need is confusion around Nebraska probate. We handle estate settlement in county courts across the state so the farm keeps running without interruption.

Ag Business & Corporate

LLCs, partnerships, corporate compliance, and ag aviation law for Nebraska operations. We build entity structures around how your Sandhills ranch or irrigated corn operation actually runs.

Farm Real Estate & Energy Leases

Buying land, reviewing title, negotiating wind and solar leases across Nebraska’s energy corridor, or structuring a 1031 exchange — your ground deserves legal attention from someone who understands its value.

Water, Drainage & Ag Programs

Nebraska NRD water allocations, groundwater disputes, USDA program counsel, and conservation compliance. The niche Nebraska water law issues that most attorneys don’t touch — and can’t.

Why Farmers Choose Us

This Isn't a City Law Firm That Dabbles in Ag

Most farm families have never had an attorney who actually understood what their operation means. Kole grew up on a working farm. He didn’t learn about agriculture in a textbook — he learned it in the cab of a tractor and on the back of a spray plane.

15+ Years of Farming

Kole is a Nebraska farmer first and an attorney second. He grew up raising crops and livestock in the heartland, and he still holds an ATP pilot rating and works as an aerial applicator. He doesn’t need your operation explained to him.

Based in Henderson, NE but remote-first — so you never have to drive to Omaha or Lincoln. Most of our work happens over phone or video, and when it makes sense, Kole will come to your kitchen table anywhere in Nebraska.

You Know the Price Before We Start

Every engagement is flat-fee. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices three months later. Straightforward pricing for straightforward Nebraska people.

We Fund the Trust — Not Just Write It

Most attorneys hand you a stack of signed documents and call it done. We don’t. Every estate plan includes proper trust funding and asset retitling under Nebraska law — because a trust that isn’t funded is a trust that doesn’t work.

Kole Pederson walks the walk and talks the talk! As a former aerial applicator, he has fully lived the agricultural life so he is qualified to assist farmers, ranchers, and agricultural business owners with their estate planning/probate, business law, and real estate legal needs. Kole is diligent, resilient, and down to earth with a genuine commitment to help clients. In this day and age, when everything has become less tangible and very technological - Kole is the kind of attorney agricultural folks can benefit from having on their side!

I have worked with Kole on a legislative and policy committee for a non profit organization. Kole's input was incredibly valuable; especially navigating legal jargon and procedures as well as his attention to detail and timeliness. I am glad to have worked with him and trust his recommendations and actions in legal matters.

I was doing an online search for an attorney and ran across Midwest Ag Law. I called and Mr. Pederson actually answered the phone himself, which Never happens these days! Unfortunately, he doesn't do Guardianship cases, but was very kind and went out of his way to give me some referrals!
