Grain investigation
HUTCHINSON — A grain marketing company is under investigation for allegedly not delivering on contracts with several Kansas elevators.
Midwest Land and Livestock had several contracts scheduled for delivery by July 15, but the elevators haven’t received shipments or reimbursement, said Tom Tunnell, president of the Kansas Grain and Feed Association. Other elevators have contracts for July 31 delivery.
“We’re not sure how many principals are involved, but we’ve come up with three different names,” Tunnell said. “My understanding is some member elevators have had contact with a representative of the group, who indicated they want to make right whatever their obligation might be. But at this point, we’ve not seen that happen.”
The Kansas Attorney General’s Office has agreed to investigate, according to an e-mail sent by Tunnell’s group to its members.
