First settlement payments from Syngenta lawsuit are being mailed

The first settlement payments to farmers in the Syngenta corn class action lawsuit will start going out later this week, according to a news release from the Kansas City law firm representing farmers in the case.

The announcement says most of the farmers can expect total

payments exceeding 5,000 dollars. The payments stem from the one-point-five

billion dollar settlement related to Syngenta’s marketing and commercialization

of Agrisure Viptera and Agrisure Duracade corn seeds, which is believed to be

the largest agricultural settlement in U.S.
