FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS OMAHA
GRAIN DEALER’S LICENSE
Lincoln, Oct. 24, 2025 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) at an emergency meeting today,
Friday, Oct. 24, issued an Order (GD-2149/GDC-467)
temporarily suspending the Grain Dealer license held
by Hansen-Mueller Co. of Omaha and opening a
department complaint (GD-2149/GDC-467). The
Order means the company can no longer do business
as a grain dealer in Nebraska, including buying grain
from producers/sellers with the intent to sell it.
“While we don’t often hold emergency meetings, the
Commission felt it was in the public good to move
forward with the temporary suspension of this grain
dealer’s license at this time,” said Commission Chair
Tim Schram.
The PSC grain department was recently made aware
that Hansen-Mueller was not meeting its obligations
as a grain dealer. During an Oct. 23 inspection by the
PSC Grain Department, the company was alleged to be
in violation of Neb. Rev. Stat § 75-903.01(2) and 291 Neb.
Admin. Code §8-003.09 for failing to make payment on
demand.
With the filing of a formal complaint against Hansen-
Mueller, the company will be required to show why its
grain dealer license should not be revoked and a civil
penalty assessed.
Commissioner Schram said, “We encourage producer/
sellers to always be vigilant. It is imperative with harvest
season underway that they are well aware of this
company and that it cannot act as a grain dealer in
Nebraska at this time.”
Producers/sellers who have done business with Hansen-
Mueller Co. and have questions are encouraged to contact
the PSC Grain Department. Grain department contact
information along with a list of licensed Grain Dealers in
Nebraska can be found on the Grain Department page of
the PSC website. ###
