Happy October!\u00a0 It finally feels like fall in the Texas Panhandle and I’m sure enjoying it.\u00a0 Here are a few ag law stories that have been in the news over the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

* Elder law podcast is a must listen.\u00a0<\/strong> I don’t usually share my own podcast episodes in the Weekly Round Up, but the interview I posted this week with elder law attorney, Kristen Porter, is one that I really think is so important, especially for farm and ranch families.\u00a0 Kristen talked us through everything from key estate planning documents to alternative ways to pay for long-term care to the rules regarding Medicaid qualification and various options for transferring property if necessary.\u00a0 You can find us on iTunes or your podcast app, or you can listen by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
