Exercise 15

Yokel, a grower of soybeans, had sold soybeans to Campbell Grain and Seed Company and other grain companies in the past. Campbell entered into an oral contract with Yokel to purchase soybeans from him. Promptly afterentering into the oral contract, Campbell signed and mailed to Yokel a written confirmation of the oral ag reement.Yokel received the written confirmation but neither signed it nor objected to its content. Campbell now brings this action against Yokel for breach of contract upon Yokel's failure to deliver the soybeans. Should Yokel be considered a merchant and thus bound by Campbell's written confirmation?
