Schafersman v. Agland Coop.

INTRODUCTION

John Schafersman and Eileen Schafersman sued Agland Coop (Agland), a Nebraska cooperative corporation, and won a $120,000 jury verdict, based upon the jury’s finding that contaminated hog feed, negligently delivered to the Schafersmans, caused illnesses and deaths among the Schafersmans’ herd of dairy cows. Agland seeks further review of a decision of the Nebraska Court of Appeals affirming the district court’s judgment. The primary question presented in this appeal is whether sufficient foundation was presented for the opinion of the Schafersmans’ expert witness, Dr. Wallace Wass.
