Louisiana Grain Dealer - LACC Bond
Overview
Applying for a grain dealer license in Louisiana puts this bond front and center. The Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry requires grain dealers to post a surety bond as a condition of licensure — and the LACC designation signals this is tied directly to that state regulatory process. This bond protects Louisiana grain producers by guaranteeing that licensed dealers meet their financial obligations when purchasing grain.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you buy, sell, or broker grain in Louisiana and are required to hold a state grain dealer license, this bond is mandatory before you can operate legally. Grain dealers — whether operating elevators, buying stations, or acting as grain merchants — must secure this bond as part of their application to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. You cannot receive or renew your grain dealer license without it in place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect Louisiana farmers and grain producers who sell to licensed grain dealers. If a dealer fails to pay for grain received, becomes insolvent, or violates the terms of their license, an affected producer can file a claim against the bond to recover losses. It holds grain dealers financially accountable and gives producers a meaningful remedy when something goes wrong in the transaction.
When is it Required?
Renewal is a recurring obligation for active grain dealers in Louisiana — this bond must remain continuously in force as long as you hold your grain dealer license. Your bond must be in place before your license is issued or renewed by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Any lapse in bond coverage can put your license and your ability to legally purchase grain at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Louisiana requirement enforced by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. It applies to grain dealers operating anywhere within Louisiana, regardless of the size or location of their operation. There is no local jurisdiction component — this is a state-level licensing bond.
