What it is and who needs it.
What the grain dealer bond actually covers
Nebraska licenses grain dealers through the Public Service Commission under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 75-903. To procure and maintain a license, each dealer pays a $100 annual fee and files security — a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or certificate of deposit — payable to the Commission for the benefit of any producer who files a valid claim arising from a grain sale to the dealer.
The bond is a producer-protection guarantee: if a grain dealer fails to pay a producer for grain it bought, the producer can recover against the security. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Commission (the obligee) acting for producers.
The Commission's rules at 291 NAC Chapter 8 set the amount at the greater of $35,000 or 7% of your grain purchases and exchanges, with a $300,000 cap — based on the preceding license year or your fiscal year-end statement (in-store and title-at-delivery grain excluded). A surety bond is usually cheapest: pricing starts from $100 instead of tying up the full amount in a CD or letter of credit.
