This is the whole thing
The incident happened in Saskatchewan, Canada. Here in March 2021, a crop buyer sent a contract to buy local farmer Chris Actor’s crop via online message. It promises to buy crops in November. The contract has been sent in this regard. In response to this message, the Chris actor replied with a ‘thumbs-up’ emoji. The Chris actor may deliver the crop in November. At the same time, the price of crops has also increased so far. Farmer said his thumbs-up emoji meant he got the deal, but he didn’t confirm the deal.
50 lakh fine
