United States Eighth Circuit

In a contract action involving contracts with defendants-hog producers for the supply of hogs, summary judgment against plaintiff on its contract claim and summary judgment against defendants on their counterclaims for breach of contract and violations of the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act (MCFA) are affirmed in part as to the counterclaims, but reversed as to the ruling on the contract claim where a "termination" provision in a portion of the contract was ambiguous, and neither party produced conclusive evidence that dictated one meaning as a matter of law.
