I agree. It makes sense to have a lawyer on retainer when the business' turnover has room for it. Outsourcing also helps the farmer to pay more attention to their core responsibilities.The bigger one gets the more they need a lawyer on retainer. From what I've seen, small famers would only cause small legal problems that you can just talk out with local authorities. The bigger you get, the more complicated things get and the more problems can surface, hence the need for a lawyer.
I don't think it is too late to gather more information. You can liaise with any local agricultural office for detailed information about the applicable laws and exemptions. There is a possibility of saving on cost in the long run.This is one area that I would say we lack on. We aren't a huge farm so I have not really put much thought into it. I imagine we are missing out on government money but that is okay.
