File the applicable milk-contractor security with Wisconsin DATCP under Wis. Stat. §126.47.
- Who needs it
- The milk-contractor license applicant or holder, using its exact legal/trade identity and actual Department security determination.
- Who it protects
- The linked commercial form binds the surety to Wisconsin DATCP for the benefit of milk producers and producer agents. It secures allowed statutory claims through the Department's recovery/final-decision process, rather than promising immediate payment of every dispute or construction-project completion.

Questions about this bond
Is this for a building contractor working at a dairy?
This offering concerns milk-contractor procurement/producer-agent security. A building contractor's license or project request is a different obligation.
Must every milk contractor buy the same amount?
DATCP distinguishes different security situations. Use the actual Department determination; this listing does not supply a universal flat sum.
Does the bond automatically expire with the April 30 license year?
The linked form is continuous with statutory cancellation provisions and retained earlier liability. Match the actual effective dates and Department acceptance.
