IS YOUR GRAIN SAFE? If you deliver corn to an elevator for storage, who is making sure the elevator is in good financial condition and can pay you when it’s time? Legislation inspired by an elevator failure in northeast Indiana could increase your confidence. Learn more about the case that inspired current grain indemnity fund upgrade legislation.
Legislation is moving in both houses of the Indiana General Assembly to improve the way that the Indiana Grain Buyers and Warehouse Licensing Agency, known as IGBWLA, audits licensed grain elevators. Jeff Cummins, legislative policy specialist for Indiana Farm Bureau Inc., says that the nuts and bolts of both House Bill 1483 and Senate Bill 364 are similar. Both should result in more training for IGBWLA staff and more transparency in the process of when a grain elevator runs into financial problems.

Bill To Remove State Protections For Wetlands, Passed By Committee
A state Senate bill that would remove protections for Indiana’s wetlands passed out of committee on Monday by a vote of 8-3. Supporters of the bill say the state’s unnecessary wetland regulations have driven up home prices and caused headaches for farmers.
Jeff Cummins is with the Indiana Farm Bureau. He said farmers have a hard time understanding the state’s complex wetland regulations and sometimes they prevent them from working their land.
