Lawsuit over female seeds?

[NeWcS]

I was watching something on YT(awhile ago) and they were talking about a lawsuit over a breeder selling females seeds, that weren't. Appently the dispensory spent tons of money for females but got regs(or herms) that caused them to have a seeded crop(or something like that).

Anyone know the story? or where I might find more info about his?
Thx guys/gals

I think that was hemp.

Elemental Processing is suing HP Farms over male hempseeds

Elemental Processing filed a $44 million lawsuit against HP Farms, claiming the hempseeds it supplied were over 70% male and ruined the 2019 crop.

Thanks! Yeah that must be it. Totally justified lawsuit IMO.

Cannabis breeders should take notice.

Did you see they were paying 0.60¢ a seed? For female hemp seeds? Time to start making feminized hemp seeds. Sell them by the pound.

guess they sold them fibre-type hemp plants that comes monoicous

still expensive, given that this type of Cannabis grows typically with a field full of seeds

I doubt the plaintiffs will prevail. The laws regarding hemp are ambiguous at best. One would have to look at the specific contract between the two entities to have any idea of the validity of the lawsuit. Plus the defendant in Oregon can petition the court to have the case moved to federal court since the two parties are in different states. This will drag on for years unless it's settled out of court.
