Arkansas Rice Farmers Sue Company Over Hybrid Rice
Arkansas rice farmers are claiming in a lawsuit that hybrid seed supplied by RiceTec Inc. was defective and resulted in lower prices for farmers.
The Goldman Phipps law firm in San Antonio and Little Rock announced Monday that 32 farmers have joined a countersuit against RiceTec over the quality and performance of its seed.
Delaplaine farmer Scott Meredith was sued by Alvin, Texas-based RiceTec after he refused to pay the full amount of his bill after his seed was allegedly defective. Meredith countersued.
RiceTec had no immediate comment.
