Selling to an unlicensed grain buyer

There are factors to consider before selling to an unlicensed grain buyer if you have production insurance, says Alberta Financial Services Corp.

The provincial crop insurer says it will only accept “receipted grade” on sales from buyers who have a primary elevator or a terminal elevator licence from the Canadian Grain Commission.

Before selling to an unlicensed buyer, producers should contact AFSC “prior to the grain being removed.”
