¶1On the 16th day of February, 1891, the appellant and the appellee entered into the following written contract, namely:
¶2“Article of agreement between R. M. Hamilton and George Perry. The said Perry has rented of Hamilton the field on the north side of the Brookville road as far on the east as can be cultivated. The said Perry agrees to pay five dollars ($5) per acre, to be tended in corn. The said Perry obligates himself to gather the corn as soon as practicable in the fall, and give possession of the field. The rent to be paid the twenty-fifth of December, 1891.”
¶3The land described in this contract was cultivated in corn during the summer of 1891, and, upon the maturity of the crop, the appellant commenced cutting and placing it in shocks. The appellee, claiming that the appellant, under the terms of the contract, was not entitled to take the fodder, commenced this action to enjoin him from proceeding in the work of severing it from the ground.
¶4(There is no allegation-fin the complaint to the effect that the appellant is insolvent. The appellee succeeded in obtaining a perpetual injunction in the circuit court, and this appeal is prosecuted for the purpose of reversing that decree. The question as to whether the facts make a case in which an injunction will be granted is presented by a demurrer to the complaint.
¶5It is a familiar rule that a party having an adequate legal remedy can not maintain an action for an injunction. Smith v. Goodknight, 121 Ind. 312; Thatcher v. Humble, 67 Ind. 444; Bishop v. Moorman, 98 Ind. 1.
¶6Assuming, without by any means deciding, that the appellant was not entitled to the fodder produced on the land described initials contract, we think the appellee has *273an adequate legal remedy for the injury of which he complains.
¶7If he was entitled to the fodder of which the appellant was about to deprive him, payment of its value would fully compensate him.
¶8The only reason suggested in argument in support of the action of the court in granting an injunction is that cutting and removing the stocks would be an injury to the freehold. The reason is unsound, because, as between landlord and.tenant, the annual crop constitutes no part of the freehold. Heavilon v. Farmers' Bank, etc., 81 Ind. 249; Chicago, etc., R. W. Co. v. Linard, 94 Ind. 319.
¶9The appellant being solvent and able to respond, pecuniarily, to the appellee, for any injury he may be able to establish, we think he has an adequate remedy at law, and for that reason can not maintain an action for injunction. Miller v. Burket, 132 Ind. 469.
¶10In our opinion, the circuit court erred in overruling the appellant’s demurrer to the appellee’s complaint in this case.
¶11Judgment reversed, with direction to sustain the appellant’s demurrer to the complaint.
