Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies: The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is subject to claims made, and from time to time is named as a defendant in legal proceedings relating to the sales of its products. The Company believes that the reserves reflected in its financial statements are adequate to pay losses and loss adjustment expenses which may result from such claims and proceedings; however, such estimates may be more or less than the amount ultimately paid when the claims are settled. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. On December 1, 2017 the Company was served with a complaint related to an injury to an employee working at Integrated Coating and Seed Technology Inc.,(INCOTEC). The employee was operating a baler manufactured by the Company in 1994. The injury occurred on December 4, 2015. The plaintiff is Star Insurance Company. The Company’s insurer settled this claim in March 2020. The Company’s liability on this settlement of the claim was $20,547 which has been paid. In December 2018 the Company discovered an employee theft of Company property. The Company has researched what items were stolen and our estimate is that the value of the stolen items was approximately $200,000. Since the Company conducts a physical inventory at the end of each fiscal year, any losses incurred for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 would have been reflected in the operating results of the Company for that fiscal year. The Company carries Crime Insurance which has an upper limit of $1,000,000 and a deductible of $25,000. In May 2019 the Company’s insurer approved the crime insurance claim and agreed to reimburse the Company $175,841. Insurance proceeds were received in May of 2019 and were recorded as other income in the accompanying condensed statements of income.
