99 million, divided among lawyers costs first, then it gets divided among the 200,000 farmers.
Most farmer will be lucky to get a few grand, but most won’t.
That won’t even cover the equipment repair costs

Current U.S. law encourages corporations to be psychopaths, trying any way they can to make profit in the interests of their shareholders, because in America, corporations are primarily for the benefit of shareholders, not for customers, workers, or the greater society.
