The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission took action to revoke the grain buyers license of H&I Grain, who had locations in DeSmet, Arlington, and Hetland. The PUC suspended that license in late June when H&I could not pay for grain delivered to their elevators.

During the Friday in Pierre, Attorney Todd Wilkinson of DeSmet asked the commission to order the bond revoked instead of leaving claims to individuals…..

PUC Staff Attorney Kristen Edwards says they will lay out a claim process….

PUC Chair Kristie Fiegen made the motion to revoke the license…..

The Commission ordered the bond proceeds distributed, but decided not to seek receivership for the grain company now, and will decide on that at a later meeting.
