What is this bond?

A Minnesota Grain Bond is a commercial surety bond that guarantees grain buyers and storage facilities will operate ethically and according to state regulations. It provides financial protection to agricultural producers, ensuring they receive proper payment for the grain they sell or store.

Who needs it?

Individuals and businesses operating as grain buyers, public grain warehouse operators, or grain storage facilities in Minnesota typically need this bond. If you purchase grain directly from producers for reselling, milling, or processing, you will likely need to secure this coverage.

Why is it required?

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture requires this bond to protect local farmers from financial loss due to a grain buyer's fraudulent practices or insolvency. It serves as a financial guarantee that warehouse operators and buyers will honor their contracts and promptly pay agricultural producers.
