What this bond does
The form may secure payment to producers, delivery of stored goods, or performance of a resource-use obligation.
- Who needs it
- Dealers, warehouse operators, processors, and resource businesses responding to a purchasing, storage, or permit requirement.
- Who it protects
- Identify whether the protected interest belongs to a producer, a depositor or the authority issuing a permit. A dealer payment obligation is different from insurance on the goods.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does the request name produce buying, feed distribution or both?
List commodities, purchasing roles, and supplier payment arrangements. Match the applicant’s role and covered activity to the written request before selecting a form.
Does a bond insure the products I handle?
Payment to producers, custody of stored products, and permission to use natural resources are separate obligations. Describe who owns the goods and when payment becomes due. Insurance for physical loss of the goods is a separate discussion.
How much will I pay?
The bond amount is the sum of the obligation or protection, not the purchase price. Review the premium and application conditions with the provider before paying. Any separately stated E&O limit is insurance coverage.
