Under a Department of Agriculture Marketing Order, to Keep the Price

Question 444

Multiple Choice

Under a Department of Agriculture marketing order, to keep the price of raisins up the government ordered raisin growers to give the government 47 percent of their crop for destruction. The Hornes refused, claiming it was a taking of property for public use without just compensation. The Supreme Court held that:


A) ​the Hornes had to comply as the decision to grow raisins was made with knowledge of the marketing order requirement.
B) ​the Hornes had to comply with the demand; the price they received for the remainder of their crop would be higher because of the destruction, so there was compensation.
C) ​the Hornes are correct; they do not have to give up their crop without compensation as it is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment.
D) ​the Hornes are correct; they do not have to give up their crop as its removal would violate the Fourth Amendment.
E) ​none of the other choices are correct.
