Adair County Farm Service v. Creston Feed & Grain, Inc.

DONIELSON, Judge.

Two defendants (the elevators) appeal from judgment for plaintiff and landlord-in-tervenors in an action for conversion of grain, asserting: (1) that the evidence was sufficient to establish course of dealing and/or usage of trade operating as a waiver of plaintiff grain dealer’s security interest in grain sold to defendants; (2) that the evidence of origin of the grain sold was not specific enough to support an award of damages; and (3) that the damage award was improperly apportioned in a manner constituting a quotient and/or speculative verdict.

Plaintiff, Adair County Farm…
