Description
This action was brought by plaintiff Robert Haner, a farmer, to recover damages for the sale to him of defective wheat seed. Defendant Columbia Producers, Inc., had treated the seed with Terra-Coat, a fungicide manufactured by defendant Olin Corporation. A leak in the seed treating machine caused the wheat seed to be overtreated, resulting in partial sterility. Columbia tested one sample of wheat seed from the defective batch and found it to have a germination rate of 83 percent. Columbia's usual practice when wheat seed tested at less than 85 percent was to advise customers of the fact and recommend a higher-than-usual planting rate. Nonetheless, Columbia labeled the seed as having a germination rate of 85 percent without conducting further tests. Tests conducted later by others on seed treated later in the year revealed germination rates as low as 53 percent.
