As per paragraph 20 of the policy, the producers took the dispute to arbitration. According to the complaint, the arbitrator’s amended decision found that each plaintiff filed its own FSA-578 forms, kept its own tobacco contracts, sales receipts and soybean receipts, and signed its own assignments of indemnity. The arbitrator also found that Hudson “did not review or rely on any of the above documents” before making the decision that each grower only owned 50 percent of the insured stake, did not produce those documents in discovery, and did not depose any witnesses with personal knowledge of how the decision was actually made, the filing said. The arbitrator concluded that Hudson had underpaid the two men a combined $126,322 plus interest.
