Attention Farmers and Corn Producers! Now is the time to sign-up for GMO Corn Litigation!

China rejected the first load of corn from the United States on November 18, 2013 and imposed a full embargo the next January, which was over two years ago. The loss of China as a major importer caused farmers billions of dollars in damages. Many Kansas corn producers mistakenly believe a trespass upon chattels claim against Syngenta for cross contamination and that the entire corn supply is barred by the two-year statute of limitations on tort actions. This would be true, except many corn farmers have filed suit seeking to represent the entire class of corn producers. Should class certification be denied, the attorneys may amend into the cause of action and additional plaintiffs prior to a deadline to be set by the assigned federal judge in Kansas City in charge of this Multi-District Litigation (MDL).

As of February 4, 2016, there is still time to sign-up for the Syngenta GMO Corn Litigation. If a client happened to produce corn in the 2013 or 2014 crop years; please contact Nathan Mattison at Neustrom & Associates at 785-825-1505.

These cases are handled on a contingent fee basis, with the client normally obtaining 2/3 of the recovery, after expenses. The farmer and landlord are not responsible for the costs of litigation.

Farmers on a cash lease basis need not ask any landlord to sign-up, however, landlords with crop share acres are urged to sign-up along with farmer on all crop share acres of corn planted in 2013 and 2014 as shown on the FSA form 578.

Above maybe deemed “ATTORNEY ADVERTISING MATERIAL” as contract is for legal representation.
