GA ag products dealer bonds.
From $100.
Georgia licenses dealers in agricultural products through the Department of Agriculture, and conditions the license on a surety bond filed with the Commissioner. The Commissioner sets the amount by your estimated peak monthly volume; the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia’s Dealers in Agricultural Products Act (O.C.G.A. Title 2, Chapter 9) requires anyone who buys, sells, exchanges, or solicits agricultural products from producers to be licensed by the Department of Agriculture, and to deliver a surety bond to the Commissioner before the license issues.
The bond is a producer-protection guarantee: it stands behind the money you owe Georgia farmers for the products you handle. The amount is set by the Commissioner based on your estimated highest-month volume of agricultural products, up to a statutory maximum, so larger dealers post larger bonds.
It is not insurance for you — if a producer is not paid and recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. Enter the amount on your license — premiums start from $100 — with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
