A large farming concern in the Midwest contracted with a pet food manufacturer to deliver 100 tons of processed cornmeal no later than November 15. The purchase price and delivery terms were specified in the contract, which permitted partial shipments. On November 1, the farming concern delivered 50 tons of cornmeal to the pet food manufacturer with the notification that the balance would be shipped by November 15. The pet food manufacturer rejected the shipment because the written documentation accompanying the shipment did not establish that the cornmeal came from an approved source, as required by the contract. The farming concern responded to this rejection by conceding that the shipment did not conform to the contract and promising to deliver all 100 tons of cornmeal by November 15 with proper documentation. Which of the following best expresses the pet food manufacturer's options?
A. The pet food manufacturer may notify the farming concern that the entire contract is terminated and that it is going to obtain the 100 tons of cornmeal from another source.
B. The pet food manufacturer may notify the farming concern that the contract is terminated as to the 50 tons of cornmeal that was shipped and did not conform to the contract, but must accept the additional 50 tons when it is shipped if it conforms to the contract.
C. The pet food manufacturer must allow the farming concern a commercially reasonable time to ship cornmeal that conforms to the contract before it can terminate the contract.
D. The pet food manufacturer must allow the farming concern until November 15 to ship cornmeal that conforms to the contract before it can terminate the contract.
