Legal with Leah: Eminent domain
The power of eminent domain has been in the news recently because of a highly visible political candidate. Eminent domain is revisited in these two, four-minute Legal with Leah podcasts, featuring Ohio Farm Bureau Director of Ag Law Leah Curtis.
Part one
Who can take your property and under what circumstances? Ohio Farm Bureau’s Leah Curtis explains the ins and outs of the power of eminent domain. (And yes, she covers how Donald Trump tried to take a little old lady’s house.)
Part two
In the second part of the eminent domain discussion, more about who can take your land (including pipeline companies) and what to do if they try.

Farm Bureau is an incredible organization that has given me countless professional development opportunities in addition to advocating for all sizes and types of farmers.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington, D.C.
Through its policies it brings together people in the agricultural community and invests in building vibrant communities that support agriculture.
If you have issues with local planning or have legal questions, someone at the Farm Bureau has the answer for you, or they’ll connect you with someone who does.
As a member of Farm Bureau, I am glad that this organization takes action when necessary to protect and advance agriculture.
We go to a lot of Farm Bureau events, and there’s a lot of camaraderie built because you’re meeting with people who have similar interests and goals.
