In recognition of National Ag Day on March 8, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) calls on America's farmers and ranchers to sign up for the 2012 Census of Agriculture and to share stories about how Census data benefits them. Recognizing the central role of agriculture in Americans lives, USDA wants to make sure it counts all farmers and ranchers in the upcoming Census.

Baumstark Braaten Law Partners, formerly known as Sarah Vogel Law Partners, was established January 1, 2005 by Sarah Vogel and Beth Angus Baumstark. We are a boutique law firm, focusing our practice in areas where we have significant experience and expertise. The attorneys at our firm work for farmers and ranchers in the Dakotas and beyond. Sarah Vogel is the former two-term Agricultural Commissioner for North Dakota. Beth Baumstark and Sarah Vogel have been working together for years, advocating and fighting for farmers, ranchers and other individuals.

Though we focus our practice on legal services for farmers and ranchers, we also have significant experience with American Indian law and environmental law, land use issues, and small business matters. We are admitted in the tribal courts of North Dakota, and have represented both tribal councils and tribal members. Additionally, because so many of our clients have been impacted by energy development, we have expanded our practice to include helping landowners with legal issues related to wind, coal and oil development.

Our practice has been referred to as "good guy law," and we strive everyday to ensure that every citizen has access to the legal system.

EXPERIENCE & RESULTS We are experienced and astute litigators, with a reputation for protecting the land and its stewards. We are passionate about what we do, and zealous advocates for our clients. more

PRACTICE AREAS Baumstark Braaten works in numerous areas of law, but focuses its practice in order to provide the highest quality legal services in particular areas of law. more
