Judge Denies Motions in AgriStor Case Keeps Lawsuit Alive
Lafayette County Circuit Judge William Johnston denied four of five motions in the AgriStor dispute with Wisconsin farmers. The ruling allows fraud and breach of contract claims to proceed while keeping the class action aspect limited to individual cases. The judge refused to certify a Wisconsin class, denied a temporary injunction, and rejected AgriStor’s bid to dismiss the complaints as vague. Rep. Joseph Tregoning said the ruling is inconclusive and may guide any future class action, with state investigators watching closely.
