How much does a North Dakota grain buyer’s bond cost?
The North Dakota Public Service Commission requires grain buyers to post surety bonds to legally conduct business within the state. Roving grain buyer’s bond amounts are determined by the volume of grain handled, sold, and received by the grain buyer, but cannot be in an amount less than $5,000.
The cost of this bond is subject to underwriting, which means the price you’ll pay is based not only on your required bond amount, but also on your personal credit report. Having your current business financials and a personal financial statement on hand when you contact our team of specialists could speed up the bonding process and help you qualify for a lower bond premium.

Why do I need a North Dakota roving grain buyer’s bond?
North Dakota roving grain buyer’s surety bonds ensure that principals (grain buyers) faithfully perform all duties in compliance with the laws and rules set by the North Dakota Public Service Commission (Chapter 60-02.1 of the North Dakota Century Code), including paying for all grain purchased or marketed. If the principal fails to adhere to these terms, the bond protects harmed parties from financial loss as a result of the principal’s or the principal’s agents’/employees’ unethical and unlawful business practices.
