Kole Pederson grew up working the land in rural Nebraska. He built Midwest Ag Law because farm families deserve an attorney who doesn’t need their world explained to him.
Founder & Lead Attorney
Before Kole ever opened a law book, he was driving a grain cart at harvest, walking bean fields in July heat, and learning what it takes to keep a family operation running. He grew up on a working farm in rural Nebraska — not as a visitor, but as someone who was expected to pull his weight.
That background shaped everything about how he practices law. When a farm couple sits down with Kole to talk about their estate plan, they don’t have to explain what a quarter section is, how cash rent works, or why the succession conversation is the hardest one their family has ever had. He already knows.
After earning his JD and MBA, Kole built Midwest Ag Law with a simple idea: the families feeding the country shouldn’t have to settle for a city attorney who treats their operation like a side project. They deserve someone who gets up early, answers the phone, talks straight, and builds legal plans that actually fit the way farming works.
Kole doesn’t just understand agriculture from a legal perspective — he lives it. He holds an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) rating and works as an aerial applicator (crop duster), a job that requires the same attention to detail and risk management that drives his legal practice.
Whether he’s reviewing a trust document, advising on a wind lease, or flying 10 feet over a cornfield at 140 mph, the standard is the same: get it right, because there’s no room for mistakes.
Too many farm families put off legal planning because working with an attorney feels expensive, confusing, and disconnected from their reality. Kole has heard the same story hundreds of times: “We’ve been meaning to get this done for years, but we just never found the right person.”
Midwest Ag Law exists to be that person. The one who shows up, listens, explains things in plain English, charges a fair flat fee, and puts a plan in place that actually works — not a generic template pulled from a city firm’s filing cabinet.
Legal documents don’t have to be indecipherable. Every plan we build comes with a plain-English walkthrough. If you don’t understand it, we haven’t done our job.
You know what it costs before we start. No billable hours, no surprise invoices. Farm families work on thin margins — respecting that isn’t optional.
Your time is too valuable to spend driving to a city law office. We work over phone and video — and when it matters, Kole will meet you at your kitchen table.
A signed trust document sitting in a drawer doesn’t protect anything. We handle the funding, the retitling, the beneficiary designations — the work most firms skip.
Midwest Ag Law isn’t a corner office practice. It happens in the places where farm families actually work and live.
