Agriculture your username February 24, 2021 In an antitrust lawsuit filed against Golden Peanut Company and other Runner peanut producers accusing them of antitrust activity, a judge ruled on four motions in limine filed by the plaintiffs asking the court to exclude certain evidence before the trial in the matter. The judge ruled that insurance crop claims and the plaintiffâs communications with other peanut farmers should be available in the evidence, but granted the other requests. The judge filed an Order on Wednesday denying one of the plaintiff’s motions in limine asking for the court to exclude any evidence relating to the plaintiffsâ contact with other peanut farmers during the trial. The plaintiffs argued that the information is irrelevant to the antitrust activities of the defendants and is prejudicial. Golden Peanut, however, argued that it was relevant to pricing discussions and that the defendants could use the information to show that pricing information was not confidential and that competitors discuss market information.Â
