Lawsuit Seeking Damages for Farmers After Drop in Corn Prices

FARMERS ELIGIBLE TO SEEK DAMAGES AND LOST INCOME IN LAWSUIT FOR DROP IN U.S. CORN PRICES

In 2009, Syngenta released a new strain of corn in the U.S. market, called Agrisure Viptera. This seed was released and marketed to farmers before it received import approval from China. Without proper import approval, China rejected shipments of American corn in 2013 and 2014, causing a dramatic disruption in the U.S. corn market.

All farmers that grew corn, regardless of whether or not they planted Viptera or other Syngenta seed, were impacted by this market disruption. Individual farmers, landlords, elevators, transporters, and others in the supply chain may be eligible to file claim.

Burns Cronauer Brown LLP has partnered with a firm with a record success in large agricultural cases similar to this. Together, we represent thousands of corn farmers in Illinois and across the Midwest. This is not a class action lawsuit. It is a mass tort. This means that farmers are represented individually in order to seek actual damages for their lost income due to the decrease in the corn market.

If you are interested in joining this lawsuit, it’s a simple process. . We are representing farmers on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay anything unless we are successful in recovering money owed to you by Syngenta. If we are successful, 40 percent of the recovery will be used to pay back attorney fees and the expenses involved with building your case.

Please be aware that Illinois does have a statute of limitation, placing a time deadline on filing your case. So, if you would like to participate we urge you to contact us immediately.

Please do not hesitate to contact Burns Cronauer Brown LLP with any questions you may have about the case. We are available at 815.895.8585 or via email at info@cronauerlaw.com.
