$2.$ The Perfection Produce Company entered into a written contract with Hiram Hodges for the purchase

of $200$ tons of potatoes to be grown on Hodge$$s farm in Maine at a stipulated price per ton. Although

the land would ordinarily produce $1,000$ tons and the planting and cultivation were properly done,

Hodges was able to deliver only $100$ tons because an unprecedented drought caused a partial crop

failure. Hodges sued the produce company to recover an unpaid balance of the agreed price for $100$

tons of potatoes. The produce company counterclaimed against Hodges for his failure to deliver the

additional $100$ tons. Who will win? Why?
