Miller v. Department of Agriculture

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the Grain Code’s section 10‑15(e) mandates automatic pricing of grain when a price‑later contract is not signed within 30 days, resulting in a pricing date of February 26, 2016. Because that date falls outside the 160‑day protection window, the plaintiff was not eligible for compensation under section 25‑10(d). The court affirmed the circuit court’s denial of the claim and reversed the appellate court’s judgment.
