Both programs offer continuing legal education credit, including ethics, as well as continuing education from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asfmra.org\/home\">American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Both Elder and Ogilvie are returning conference speakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitzhugh and Clark are in the room for many important federal discussions that shape agriculture and the environment,\u201d NALC Director Harrison Pittman said. \u201cTheir insights will help Mid-South and Western attendees better understand and anticipate policy shifts that affect their operations, legal practices and businesses.
