This article was extremely interesting to me because I work for a specialty seed company and have had the opportunity to see very similar cases. I believe that Morton could sue both the seed companies and the people selling the soil . He could go after the seed companies because they should not have sold soil with sugar beet roots in it. These seed companies should be very educated on this issue and know that they can not sell soil with these roots in it. Morton could also go after the company selling the soil because they did not test it and see if there were sugar beet roots in it before they sold it. I believe that Morton will claim negligence because neither of these companies failed to do something that they very clearly should have done.
