in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Disputes over a poultry or swine production or marketing contract must be resolved in the federal court district where most of the work under the contract happens. The contract may also specify which state's law applies to state-law issues. That choice does not apply if the state where the work mostly happens bans it.

(a) Location of forum: Any dispute between the parties to a poultry growing arrangement or a swine production or marketing contract, arising out of that arrangement or contract, must be resolved in the federal court district where the main part of the performance under the arrangement or contract takes place. (b) Choice of law: A poultry growing arrangement or swine production or marketing contract may specify which state's law applies to issues governed by state law in a dispute arising out of it. But this choice does not apply if the law of the state where the main part of the performance takes place prohibits it.
