── AGRELIANT GENETICS, LLC v. Gary Hamstra Farms, Inc., et al. ── Case No.: 22A-CC-01827 Court: Indiana Court of Appeals Date: July 12, 2023 Author: Judge Elizabeth Tavitas County of Origin: Jasper Category: Civil Decision: Affirmed, Reversed and Remanded Judge Crone and Judge Weissmann concur This case involves three farms in Jasper County, Indiana—Hamstra, Woolever, and Klemp. AgReliant is an agricultural corporation that markets crop seeds to farmers throughout the Midwest. AgReliant does not grow the seeds itself. Instead, it contracts with farmers to set aside certain land to grow seeds—in this case, seed corn. Growing seed corn is different than growing grain crops, such as field corn or soybeans. Growing seed corn requires that the seed corn crops be isolated from other corn varieties to prevent cross-pollination.
