American Plant Food Corp. (APF), Galena Park, Texas, filed a Property-Other Property Fraud lawsuit against NeuAG LLC, The Woodlands, Texas, on Nov. 1, 2021, in Harris County District Court in Harris, Texas.
Other defendants listed included Joe Newcomb, The Woodlands, Texas; Jerry Newcomb, Richwood, Texas; Jason Kennedy, Wyandotte, Mich.; Gregory Caldwell, Freeport, Texas; Randall Hulvey, Jackson, Texas; and BASF Corp., Dallas, Texas.
APF also filed a motion for a proposed temporary restraining order. More details were not immediately available about the case at press time.
Ironically, the case was filed on Nov. 1, the day that NeuAG was slated to take over APF’s longstanding ammonium sulfate supply agreement from BASF. Since NeuAG announced the agreement in 2020 (GM May 15, 2020), it has constructed a $90 million Freeport, Texas, storage and distribution center (GM July 16, p. 1). In July, NeuAG told Green Markets that the project was ahead of schedule, under budget and expected to be fully operational on Nov. 1.
