The suit was filed in Superior Court and names company president Jack Thomas, vice-president of production Bill Thomas, vice-president of engineering Bob Thomas and chief financial officer Brian Payne.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.But the company has gone bankrupt.

A woman who answered the phone at the plant Tuesday afternoon said none of the men were available, but agreed to take a message. None of the men called back.

The court document states some of the farmers were able to recoup part of their losses by selling some crop to other processing plants or by filing crop insurance claims, but all nine farmers lost between $217,000 to $394,000.
