What this bond does
Nevada's farm-products security provisions address covered business violations and unpaid obligations from buying and selling farm products. Hay is included in the statutory definition of farm products.
- Who needs it
- A hay business applying under the dealer, broker or commission-merchant provisions of NRS Chapter 576. The chapter distinguishes those roles from a cash buyer.
- Who it protects
- The prescribed bond secures judgments arising from covered business violations or nonpayment obligations. Its conditions and aggregate limit govern recovery; it does not insure hay against physical damage.

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 every person buying hay need this bond?
No blanket conclusion follows from buying hay. Chapter 576 distinguishes dealers, brokers and commission merchants from cash buyers and includes exemptions. Match your activity to the Department's licensing instructions.
Is the amount the same for every dealer?
NRS 576.040 ties the security to annual purchase volume under a Department schedule. Obtain the amount for your business; this application does not display a fixed bond amount or term.
Does the bond cover spoiled or damaged hay?
Its security concerns the obligations in the prescribed bond. Physical damage to the hay is a separate issue, not a benefit established by this dealer bond.
Where do I complete the application?
Purchase Now takes you to Propeller in a new tab. Review the form and business details there, then handle issued-bond filing under the Department's instructions.
