New Grain Law Protects
Maryland Farmers
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A new
grain law that went into effect last
month should result in added
protection to any Maryland farmer
that sells or stores his grain. Ef
fective July 1, 1986 changes in the
Grain Dealers Licensing Law
made by the 1986 Maryland
General Assembly became law.
The major change in the wording
of the law was the definition of a
“grain dealer”.
Under the new law, “grain
dealer” is defined as any person
who is in the business of buying,
receiving, exchanging, or storing
grain from a person who grows
grain. This does not apply to a
farmer who buys, receives, ex
changes, or stores grain for use in
the farming business of that far
mer.

be issued or renewed until the
applicant has filed with the

a CPA. Each document must in
dicate that the applicant’s grain
business has a net worth of at least

bond in the amount of $lOO,OOO and
present proof of insurance
coverage. Anyone who violates this
portion of the new grain law is
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction is subject to a fine of

“This law should help protect the
farmer who is selling or storing his
grain by assuring him that the
person he is dealing with (when
storing at time of licensing grain)
is a licensed grain dealer who is
financially stable and carries
adequate insurance to protect his
product until he (the farmer) is'
paid,” explained Thomas O.
Meredith, administrator,
