Case # 1: Halloween is approaching, and Jayne needs lots of pumpkins and bales of hay to decorate her store and to sell.Jayne goes to see Farmer Brown about her needs and agrees to buy all the pumpkins in his lower field and all the bales of hay in the shed next to the lower field. The contract sets the price at $10 per bale of hay and $1 per 500 grams of pumpkin.Farmer Brown agrees to count and weight the bales and pumpkins, respectively, and deliver everything to her store on Saturday.

On Thursday night, after Farmer Brown has counted the bales, but before he has picked and weighed the pumpkins, there is a bad wind and rain storm that blows down the shed, destroying the bales of hay, and ruins most of the pumpkins by tossing them around the field.On Friday, Farmer Brown calls Jayne to tell her about the loss and suggests she call her insurance agent about compensation.

What is the main issue?

Is Farmer Brown correct in saying that Jayne is responsible for the lost bales of hay and pumpkins? Explain
