In 1992, Land-O-Sun entered a guilty plea with the United States Department of Justice, agreeing to pay a $3.5 million fine for public school bid rigging in South Carolina between 1985 and 1988.[3]

In July 1992, Land-O-Sun Dairies emerged from bankruptcy after previously filing for bankruptcy in February 1991.[4]
