Answer: No, the parties expected the hardship and provided for it in their contract

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, Louis cannot get out of the contract. This is because the parties expected the hardship and provided for it in their contract.

This can be deduced when rather than paying $3 per bushel, in case of bad weather requiring additional workers, the rate would be $3.50 per bushel and it was agreed.

Therefore, Louis can't get out of the contract.
