Campbell Soup Loses Test Case
A federal court jury awarded Reichard Brothers of Westover, Somerset County, $20,702.33 against Campbell Soup Co. The case centers on a contract for Reichard’s 1947 crop at 60 cents per bushel for grade one and 40 cents for grade two. Frost ruined the initial crop, replanting caused a market glut, and Campbell’s bought the cheaper tomatoes at 25 cents rather than the higher priced lot, with growers alleging slow acceptance led to crop rot.
