Hill & Hill settles seed lawsuit

Hill & Hill of Varna has settled a seed lawsuit with DuPont Pioneer.

The Hills were apparently selling wheat seed that they called their own, but were accused of brown bagging - i.e. selling the harvest as seed. DuPont holds patents that protect its right to be the sole supplier of the seed of the variety in question.

No details of the out-of-court settlement were released.
