Gold Kist, Inc. v. Majors

Gold Kist, Inc., and Autauga Quality Cotton Association (“Autauga Quality”) appeal from a judgment holding them liable for conversion of crops. The complaint, filed by International Mineral & Chemical, Inc. (“IMC”), accused them of conversion because they failed to satisfy the obligation of the debtor, Herman Majors, to IMC, as junior lienholder. Dixie Agriculture Supply Company (“Dixie Ag”), the priority lien-holder in this case, also appeals from a judgment holding it liable to Gold Kist and to Autauga Quality on the third-party complaint filed by both Gold Kist and Autauga Quality.
