More Praise for The Farmer’s Lawyer
“The Farmer’s Lawyer, both an exquisitely written American saga and a trove of lived research, might serve as the definitive document of the 1980s farm crisis that in some ways never ended. Sarah Vogel’s heroic battle on behalf of family farmers was historic–and has never been more relevant.”
“What a wonderful book! The Farmer’s Lawyer is riveting. Its characters amount to a new pantheon of heroes—author Sarah Vogel as well as the white and Native American farmers whose dogged righteousness prevails and inspires. I am humbled, heartened, and moved.”
“The most important book about the practical issues farmers face that I have ever read.”
About Sarah
Hello, I’m Sarah Vogel, attorney, advocate, and author of The Farmer’s Lawyer. I’ve dedicated my life to agricultural justice. As a North Dakotan, I draw from my heritage as a third-generation member of the Nonpartisan League to fight for the little guy, including family farmers, ranchers, Native Americans, women, and small business owners.

I was honored by Willie Nelson at Farm Aid’s 30th anniversary, for my longtime service to family farmers. The Nation called me “a giant killer in ag law” as I’ve fought for decades in several landmark cases. If you’d like to learn more about my personal story and how it all started, I hope you’ll read my memoir. And if you’d like to learn more about me, please visit my About page and join my email list.
