What it is and who needs it.
What the dealer bond actually covers
Nevada regulates dealers, brokers, commission merchants, cash buyers, and agents who handle livestock and farm products under NRS Chapter 576, administered by the Department of Agriculture. The license is conditioned on a surety bond under NRS 576.040, so that the producers and sellers you transact with are protected.
The bond protects against non-payment, misrepresentation, and other violations of Chapter 576: if a dealer fails to pay for product or defrauds a seller, the harmed party can recover against the bond. The amount is keyed to your annual volume of purchases — the Department's schedule runs from $5,000 for smaller livestock buyers and $10,000 for farm-produce buyers, stepping up as volume grows.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount the Department assigns at a flat 3% with no credit check. If you deal specifically in hay, see our hay dealer page — it is the same chapter, written for that audience.
