- (1888PressRelease) December 09, 2018 - No title can be closer to the soul of the person it describes. It is thanks to Julia Turshen who appropriately chose the heading to describe one of the leading faces of the legal fight for the right of farmers. Featuring the unstoppable Jillian Hishaw, the article aptly describes her pure intent and perseverance for the good of farmers and agriculture.
In this world of a complicated system, we often end up giving back the least to those who provide us the most. Jillian Hishaw backtracked her steps and retracted to the very roots of being human - farming. Founder of Family Agriculture Resource Management Services (F.A.R.M.S.), she offers aid to small farmers with technical and legal services in agriculture. She possesses a rich experience of 12 years in agriculture, environmental and asset protection matters of local, state, federal, legal, and non-profit experience handlings. Hishaw has several renowned features under her including Civil Eats, the Atlantic, Seniors.com, WFAE-NPR, and many more. Apart from being passionately involved in managing legal and technical land issues for farmers, Jillian Hishaw has also authored "Don't Bet the Farm on Medicaid Liens" that has received notable critical admiration.
The feature “Daughter of the Soil” in the popular O Magazine which is a home publication of Oprah Winfrey is a piece that talks about Hishaw’s family background of farmers who were once cheated by a lawyer and lost their land. Hishaw got her inspiration from there and resolved to help small farmers so that what happened to her family doesn’t happen to any other farmer. As she herself puts her emotions in words, “My heart bleeds for the small farmer.”
The article particularly discourses on farmers losing their lands to the tax and legal complications. The facts and data revealed are disturbing and against the well-being of small farmers. In just 2016 & 2017, approximately 20,000 American farms have shut down or were consolidated. When she first made up her mind to stand for it, she set her foot to start her legal expertise in consulting where she helped the farmers with filing claims in the second Pigford suit. She also consulted for the Department of Agriculture before founding F.A.R.M.S.
Despite being an instrumental and key figure to direct and manage all her ventures that relentlessly work towards the good of farmers, Jillian Hishaw closely looks after the considerable amount of minute works herself. She loves to connect and build firm relationships personally. She is a woman fighting legally for the right of farmers, and she is also a humble person dropping a truck of homegrown melons at communities where fresh produce is a luxury.
When profitability slips out of focus and the cause sits at the top pedestal, people are made happy from the heart. Jillian’s happy clients are an example of the same where they found the comforting friend and lawyer in her when nobody was ready to help. O Magazine portrayed her spirit with the right colors with this content piece that’s not only a chronicle of her remarkable feats in the field of agriculture but also a source of inspiration for those trying to find answers for issues related to the same.
