At Kanuka Thuringer LLP, we recognize and honour the role that the family farm has played in Saskatchewan's development, but understand that the future also offers new opportunities. Increases in farm size, diversification into specialty crops, the growth of and opposition to intensive livestock production, and increases in the level of value added agricultural processing within the province are all part of what the future may bring. Complicating this period of change are laws reflecting society's interest in environmental protection, the use of water by commercial operations, international trade, and public health, as evidenced by border restrictions imposed due to the BSE scare.
All of these indicators suggest that those involved in both family farming operations and larger scale agribusinesses have an increasing need for more sophisticated legal assistance, and we are proud to note that a significant number of clients operating in this sector rely on our firm for these services. This has allowed us to develop and maintain the expertise needed to assist with all your needs ranging from the most basic land acquisition transactions, to the more complex negotiations involved in financing and developing a greenfield site for a new processing plant, to the highly specific advice necessary to run the gauntlet of land development restrictions, the acquisition of water rights and compliance with waste disposal and other regulations that currently surround new agribusiness operations.
