Dee's Caterers contracted with Glen Allen Peanut Farms for the purchase of a one year's supply of peanuts for Dee's business. The price was 1.21 per pound. The Glen Allen Peanut Farms was hit by a frost that damaged most of its crops and left what remained with an odd taste. Because other peanut farms also fell victim to the frost, the price of peanuts rose to 3.37 per pound. Dee's demanded delivery. Glen Allen said it would cost too much to perform. Must Glen Allen perform? What damages would Dee's have?
