No one has a fucking contract for consensual sex you incel. Plus you obviously have never participated in any kind of contract or business relationship. You typically do not need to have a signed, witnesses and notarized contract for “routine” business relationships and it’s obvious in this case that they had an existing relationship that the farmer was trying to back-out of because he figured out he could make more money elsewhere.

For your final point It should have been up to the court to recognized that unless both parties understand the method of agreement for this given contract, that it could not have possibly been binding. It was, and based on the prexisting business relationship and prior contracts agreed to via text, it was OBVIOUS that the “thumbs up” was intended to confirm the informal agreement.
