Summary

A California farmer, Cesar Mora, is giving away over 100,000 pounds of white nectarines for free rather than letting them rot, as he is locked in a legal battle with Giumarra Brothers Fruit Co. The company claims exclusive rights over the "Monalise" variety of white nectarine and alleges Mora broke their contract by selling to other packers. Mora countersues for unfair and fraudulent business practices. A trial is scheduled for later this month. This marks the second year Mora has been unable to sell his crop due to the lawsuit.
