- AgTech says counsel formally challenged the lease action
AgTech says its counsel delivered a formal written challenge to the State Land Department on September 24. The company argues that required notice-and-cure procedures were not followed in connection with the September 10 action. The State described one lease as in default and four as nonrenewals. A.R.S. § 37-289 addresses procedures before cancellation for default; its application to the four nonrenewals has not been established here. The attorney letter itself was not available for independent review, so this entry attributes the challenge and procedural argument to AgTech. No ruling or relief is established.
