WOLLMAN, Chief Justice
(dissenting).
As I read the testimony, defendant really does not dispute Mr. Hughes’ version of the two conversations that gave rise to the contracts for the sale of corn. Accordingly, I would hold that two oral contracts for the sale of a total of 10,000 bushels of corn were entered into on the dates in question and that under the principles set forth in Farmers Elevator Company of Elk Point v. Lyle, S.D., 238 N.W.2d 290, defendant is estopped from raising as a defense the Statute of Frauds.
