As harvest season is underway, the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) encourages grain producers, buyers and warehouses to review state laws and rules regarding the purchase and storage of grain. Understanding these state policies is an essential step for producers and buyers to protect their investment, reports AGWeek.
The PUC helps preserve the financial security of South Dakota’s grain industry through licensing and inspecting grain buyers and grain warehouses.
The agency monitors licensed facilities to ensure they are meeting their obligations to grain producers and operating within the requirements of state laws and administrative rules.
