OPINION
NIERENGARTEN, Judge.
Respondent Lowell Nelson brought an action for loss of profits sustained as a result of an alleged breach of a oral farm lease by appellant Gary Smith. Smith contends the lease was unenforceable because it was in violation of the Statute of Frauds. Nelson responded that Smith’s conduct es-topped him from successfully using that defense. The jury found Smith refused to negotiate the lease with Nelson in good faith and was therefore estopped from claiming the Statute of Frauds as a defense. It awarded Nelson $68,352.00.
