Agency Overview
The Indiana Grain Buyers and Warehouse Licensing Agency (IGBWLA) was created in 1975 after the collapse of a large commercial grain operation, which resulted in Indiana farmers not being paid for grain stored. As a result of this incident, Indiana created IGBWLA, whose responsibilities include the licensing and compliance of commercial grain operations in Indiana.
The IGBWLA’s mission is to ensure the financial integrity of the grain marketing infrastructure, while allowing the industry to be competitive, innovative and efficient. The agency has oversight of more than 200 licensees that operate approximately 350 facilities across the state.
