Wisconsin licenses grain dealers under the Agricultural Producer Security law (Wis. Stat. ch. 126), enforced by DATCP. When a dealer must post security, a surety bond is one accepted form — we issue the amount DATCP requires at a flat 3%, with a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
















Your grain-dealer license is waiting on this security. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount DATCP required, and the effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with DATCP as your grain-dealer security. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. A soft credit pull affects approval, never the price.
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 and we issue at a flat 3% — credit affects approval, never the price. Send us your filing if you are unsure of the amount.
