The Grain Financial Protection Program protects producers who sell grains and oilseeds to licensed dealers and producers or owners who store grains and oilseeds at licensed elevators. The program has both a licensing and inspection component and a financial protection component.
All dealers and elevator operators must be licensed and make payments to producers and owners within specified timelines.
