Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general secured a settlement with Corteva to end anti-competitive loyalty programs that blocked generic pesticide competitors, lowering costs for farmers. Corteva will pay $35 million, including $1.25 million to Minnesota, and is subject to 10 years of compliance oversight prohibiting exclusionary sales practices.
