Seed corn seizure under War War Council action in 1918
In 1918 a seed corn shortage pushed seed corn prices to 9 12 to 15 dollars a bushel and higher. A 1000 bushel 1916 harvest owned by A Hoyt was seized by government authority and distributed by County Agent Scott with Hoyt receiving 6 60 per bushel. Hoyt died and his son M A Hoyt sued over the sale value and legality of the seizure. The case rose through Calhoun county and state supreme court arguments centered on rightful county of sale and price.
