What the grain dealer security covers
Wisconsin's Agricultural Producer Security law (Wis. Stat. ch. 126), enforced by DATCP, protects farmers who sell grain to licensed dealers. Most dealers participate in the Agricultural Producer Security Fund; depending on financial standing and other factors, a dealer may also be required to file security — and a surety bond is one accepted form, alongside a letter of credit, certificate of deposit, or cash.
When required, the security backs the dealer's obligations to the producers it buys grain from. If a dealer fails to pay producers as required, the security and the fund are available to make them whole.
Because DATCP sizes the security to the dealer's obligations and financial ratios, there is no single statutory dollar figure we can quote sight unseen. Enter the amount on your DATCP paperwork; pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and a soft credit check never affects your score. Send us your filing if you are unsure of the amount.
