Indiana Grain Buyers and Warehouse Licensing

The mission of the Indiana Grain Buyers and Warehouse Licensing Agency (IGBWLA) is to reduce risk to grain producers. The agency has oversight of nearly 280 licensees. This includes over 470 facilities with a more than 521-million bushel storage capacity. Over the past year, the agency's field auditors inspected nearly 800 moisture meters and conducted 250 state and 61 compliance audits, as well as 71 soybean checkoff audits.

The agency investigated and verified producer claims to the Indiana Grain Indemnity Corporation from two grain elevator failures in 2008. As a result, auditing procedures were completely reviewed with additional information being requested, along with documentation to backup this information. The Agency adopted a new computer software program to bring auditing procedures more in line with present marketing practices. As a result, the Agency data base system was updated to capture this new information.
