Law Talk with the Flock · 2025-12-04 · 13 min
CEO Jeana Goosmann sits down with fellow attorneys Barry Sackett and Abbey Janecek, fresh off their trip to the American Ag Law Association Annual Meeting. Together, they break down the legal trends shaping the future of agriculture - from food labeling standards to water rights, tariffs, and the high-stakes carbon pipeline litigation moving toward the Supreme Court. Abbey explains how the MAHA Act (Make America Healthy Again) could reshape food labeling and nutrient disclosure across state lines, affecting companies operating in multiple jurisdictions. She also highlights how inconsistent state requirements drive the need for proactive legal guidance. Barry shares current insights, including updates on Waters of the United States, the pending tariff case, and the fight over counties’ ability to regulate carbon-pipeline routes. The team also dives into one of today’s most underrated risks: crisis communication. With videos, leaks, and social media capable of escalating small issues into major crises, they explore how legal counsel and PR teams can work together to mitigate risk.
