Former North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Sarah Vogel
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Former North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Sarah Vogel will be sharing her story in Jamestown on Sunday, Aug. 28.
In her book “The Farmer’s Lawyer,” Vogel shares the true story of her landmark class action lawsuit Coleman v. Block. The story centers on a David and Goliath legal battle to stop the federal government from foreclosing on thousands of family farmers.
Historic Courthouse Supervisor Steve Reidburn says they will host Vogel at the courthouse inside the courtroom to allow for adequate seating.
As a young Lawyer, Vogel brought the historic case against the federal government on behalf of 240,000 family farmers facing foreclosure during the 1980’s farm crisis.
She served as the North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner for two terms and was the first woman in U.S. history to be elected to the position in any state. She currently resides in Bismarck.

Her presentation will be free and open to all on Sunday, Aug.28 at the Historic 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse starting at 2 PM.
