What Are the Benefits of Mediation?
When trying to settle disputes, Missouri farmers, ranchers and producers
can utilize the department’s Mediation service as a low-cost alternative to
appeals and expensive litigation. This process has a 73 percent success rate
nationwide, meaning both parties involved reach a mutually acceptable and
fair resolution.
It is also an opportunity for participants to resolve an issue within their
financial means and reduce the stress often caused by lengthy litigation.
While it can take years for a case to filter through the court system, media
tion generally takes only a few meetings to complete. In addition, com
munications related to and made by the participants during the resolution
process are confidential.
Missouri’s farmers, ranchers and producers
now have an additional support tool which offers many benefits –
Mediation.
