What it is and who needs it.
What the grain dealer bond actually covers
Missouri licenses grain dealers through the Department of Agriculture under Chapter 276, RSMo. A grain dealer buys grain from producers, so RSMo 276.426 requires the dealer to file a surety bond as a condition of the license — engaging in the grain business without a sufficient bond on file is itself a violation.
The bond runs in favor of the State of Missouri, with the director as trustee for the benefit of all persons selling grain to the dealer — the producers. If a dealer fails to pay for grain it bought, a seller (or the department on the seller’s behalf) can make a written demand and recover against the bond.
The amount is the greater of $50,000 or 2% of the dealer’s annual Missouri grain purchases, so it scales with volume. Recovery on the bond is not a producer’s exclusive remedy — it doesn’t bar a separate civil action on the grain contract. We issue the amount the department set, at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull.
