The November issue of the ABA Journal has a feature on rural lawyers.
While the title and tag line are a little over the top (and out of the author’s control), the article does a good job in presenting both the “calculus connected with rural and small-town practice” and lawyers who have chosen a rural practice.

Nice article, I am practicing in NE Iowa about 1 hour south of you. I am also a lawyer to support a farming habit.
Keep up the fire, I am heading out to combine whats left of the non GMO beans.

Good luck in getting those beans in. I’ll stick to livestock; the finished product is slightly less weather dependent.
Great article and nice highlight on your practice! I office in Northfield, MN, which is south of the Twin Cities and NW of Rochester. Check out my family law blog at http://alwaysfamilycenter.com.
Thanks for the kind words.
