RFD-TV ag law and taxation expert Roger McEowen with the Washburn School of Law joined us on the Market Day Report on Thursday to discuss the topic.
In an interview with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander, McEowen explains some of the common factors, big takeaways, and the potential concerns over one-sidedness and unconscionable terms in these contracts.
