FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC TO PARTICIPATE IN HUSKER HARVEST DAYS
Lincoln, SEPTEMBER 8, 2022 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) will be on hand at Husker Harvest Days
(September 13-15) in Grand island, providing information
on the services it delivers and the regulatory authority it has
within the state.
Husker Harvest days gives us the opportunity to talk directly
with the citizens we serve and the businesses we regulate,”
said Commission Chair Dan Watermeier. “With harvest
season underway it’s an important time to make sure
everyone involved in the selling, or storage of grain
understands Nebraska law.”
Under the Grain Dealer Act if a producer/seller wants to
ensure their transactions with a grain dealer are covered by
the grain dealer’s security posted with the PSC, they must
demand payment within 15 days of completion of their
contract with the dealer. Producers/sellers who choose not
to demand payment within 15 days after completion of their
contract will be unsecured creditors of that dealer and forfeit
any protection from the grain dealer’s security.
Grain Warehouse operators are also reminded by the PSC
of the Emergency Storage Policy. In order to store grain on
the ground, an Emergency Storage application must be filed
with, and approved by the PSC. The Emergency Storage
Application can be found on the Grain Department page of
the PSC website.
You can visit the PSC booth at Husker Harvest Days in the
Diversified Industry Building Exhibition area beginning at
8:00 a.m., each of the three-days.
Commissioner Watermeier said, “We invite anyone with
questions or an interest in the Public Service Commission
to stop by and see us at Husker Harvest Days.” ###
