Considering verbal contracts are enforceable I'm not surprised the judge would rule this way.

Yeah, but I think it was a miscommunication. The contract was sent over text with “please confirm the contract”, but he was expecting a fax to sign and the thumbs up was a confirmation that he would sign it once he got it. Maybe I don’t know enough but I do kinda have to side with the farmer on this one.

Edit: ok I read a bit more, maybe not as this article mentions that they’ve previously confirmed messages over text. Idk

That seems like the correct ruling. Any reasonable person would think that a thumbs up emoji equates to "yes", "good", "affirmative" or any other word of agreement. Trying to get out of a contract because you used an emoji is a complete dick move.

This is what I don't like about Teams on my android phone. There is no "Mark Read" button on the notification. It's either reply or like or open the app.
