MO grain warehouseman bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Before Missouri licenses a public grain warehouse, the Department of Agriculture requires a bond for the benefit of everyone storing grain with you — under RSMo Chapter 411, the Missouri Grain Warehouse Law. The amount is based on your licensed capacity; we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

What the grain warehouse bond covers
Missouri regulates public grain warehouses under RSMo Chapter 411, the Missouri Grain Warehouse Law, administered by the Department of Agriculture. Before a license issues, the warehouseman must file a bond running in favor of the State of Missouri for the benefit of all persons storing grain, conditioned on the faithful performance of the warehouseman’s duties.
The bond amount is based on the licensed storage capacity of the warehouse, with a $20,000 statutory minimum and a cap that generally does not exceed $1 million (subject to net-worth deficiency rules). The required figure comes from the department — enter that amount and we’ll issue it.
The bond must be kept in force at all times while you operate; letting it lapse is cause for license revocation. It protects depositors and receipt holders — if you fail to deliver stored grain, they can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration.
