PSC DISMISSES COMPLAINT AGAINST
UNION GRAIN COMPANY
Lincoln, July 19, 2022 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission(PSC), has dismissed a complaint (GW-340
/GWC-447) against Union Grain Company, of Saint Libory.
“The company has worked with our grain department to
rectify the situation that led to the complaint, paid a
penalty and agreed to operate its facility in accordance
with the department’s rules and regulations,” said
Commission Chair Dan Watermeier.
In May, the PSC filed a complaint against Union Grain
Company, for violation of the Grain Warehouse Act, Neb.
Rev. Stat. § 88-543, which prohibits warehouse licensees
from operating with less grain in the warehouse than
outstanding receipts issued for grain stored by valid
owners, depositors, or storers of grain in the licensed
warehouse. Two audits conducted by the PSC grain
department found Union Grain Company oversold in
corn on several occasions.
Grain warehouses are generally regulated by the PSC
pursuant to the Grain Warehouse Act, and the Nebraska
Administrative Code Title 291, Chapter 8 of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations. ###
