Langer v. Bartholomay

VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.

[¶ 1] Henry J. Langer and Mary Ann Weiss (“landowners”) appeal, and Lyle Bartholomay and Kelly A. Thompson, doing business as B & T Farms, cross-appeal from a judgment entered after a bench trial awarding B & T Farms $37,081.82 for the breach of a farm lease. We conclude the district court’s findings that B & T Farms did not breach the lease by producing sugar beets on the land, the landowners’ repudiation constituted an anticipatory breach of the lease, and the court’s award of damages are not clearly erroneous. We affirm the judgment.
