A state-chartered Oklahoma public commodity (grain) warehouse that falls short of the required net worth can make up the gap with a surety bond payable to the State Board of Agriculture under 2 O.S. §9-22. The Board sets the amount to your deficiency — pricing starts from $100, and your exact price appears at the application. Your price is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the warehouse bond actually covers

Oklahoma charters public commodity warehouses — grain elevators and similar storage facilities — through the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry under Title 2. To hold a charter, a warehouseman must prove a net worth tied to chartered capacity (roughly twenty-five cents per bushel for the first four million bushels, but not less than $50,000).

When net worth falls short of that figure, 2 O.S. §9-22 lets the warehouseman make up the difference with a surety bond, certificate of deposit, or irrevocable letter of credit, in an amount equal to the deficiency. The bond is filed and made payable to the State Board of Agriculture for the benefit of all persons storing commodities with the warehouse.

It guarantees the warehouseman will fulfill its obligations — honoring receipts and returning or paying for stored grain. If the warehouse fails and depositors are harmed, they can recover against the bond; if the surety pays, the warehouseman repays the surety. We price the deficiency amount at 0.5% of the bond, with a $100 minimum.

2 O.S. §9-22 (State Board of Agriculture)Under 2 O.S. §9-22, a state-chartered Oklahoma warehouseman must maintain a net worth tied to chartered capacity (not less than $50,000), and may cover a deficiency with a surety bond, certificate of deposit, or irrevocable letter of credit equal to the shortfall, filed and made payable to the State Board of Agriculture for the benefit of persons storing commodities. Confirm your required amount on your charter application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Oklahoma commodity warehouse bond?Pricing is variable, from a $100 minimum, based on your bond amount. The amount itself equals the net-worth deficiency the State Board of Agriculture is requiring you to cover, computed from your chartered storage capacity. Enter that figure at the application and your exact price appears — 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
Do all warehousemen need this bond?No. A warehouseman that meets the net-worth requirement (not less than $50,000, scaled by chartered capacity) does not need to post security. The bond is for covering a deficiency — confirm your figure with the Board.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information. Most applications approve instantly; if a check runs on a larger bond amount, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Can I use a CD or letter of credit instead?Yes — 2 O.S. §9-22 accepts a surety bond, certificate of deposit, or irrevocable letter of credit. A surety bond is usually the cheapest, since you pay a premium starting from $100 rather than tying up the full amount in cash or collateral.
Who is protected by the bond?Everyone who stores commodities with the warehouse. The bond is payable to the State Board of Agriculture for the benefit of depositors, backing the warehouseman’s obligation to honor receipts and return or pay for stored grain.
