Gore and Powell
EAST ST. LOUIS – Two antitrust suits at U.S. district court would void contracts throughout North America so Farmers Business Network (FBN) of San Carlos, Calif. can sell seeds and chemicals online.
Plaintiffs claim the ag defendants keep prices high by restricting access to the network.
A primary investor of FBN is a California-based venture capital firm, where former vice-president Al Gore serves as senior partner and former Secretary of State Colin Powell serves as strategic advisor. The firm, Kleiner Perkins, has offices in San Francisco and Shanghai.
Attorneys George Zelcs, of Stephen Tillery’s firm in St. Louis, filed the first complaint for the estate of Jefferson County farmer Michael Piper on Jan. 8.
