OUR STORY
Kole Pederson
Founder
At Midwest Ag Law, our roots in agriculture run deep. Our founder, Kole Pederson, grew up on a family crop farm where work wasn’t just a job — it was a way of life. Being homeschooled, Kole began his usual days at 5:00 a.m., balancing school with full-time work by the time he was 12. He continued this path of dedication, earning degrees in Agronomy, Ag Business, Ag Systems Management, and Aviation from the University of Minnesota Crookston, even teaching upper-division precision agriculture courses after graduation.
​
Kole’s commitment to agriculture didn’t end there. In 2014, he began working as an aerial applicator, logging hundreds of hours in the air and supporting the industry he had grown up in. However, in 2018 Kole experienced an engine failure that led to a serious crash. After being told he might never fly again, Kole channeled his love for agriculture into a new path: agricultural law.
Kole enrolled at Drake University Law School, renowned for its agricultural law program, and soon after graduation, he accepted a position at the Nebraska Farm Bureau as Director of Environmental and Regulatory Affairs. It was here that he realized the agricultural community needed a legal advocate who genuinely understood the industry's unique challenges. This insight prompted Kole to establish Midwest Ag Law, a firm dedicated to meeting the legal needs of farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness owners with an insider’s knowledge.
​
Through miraculous healing, Kole discovered he could return to flying. Today, he works as an aerial applicator for R & M Flying Service alongside serving clients at Midwest Ag Law. With over 20 years of firsthand experience, Kole brings a depth of understanding that sets Midwest Ag Law apart as a trusted advocate for those working in agriculture.
