Agricultural law professor Keith Meyer of the University of Kansas cautions farmers to monitor elevator health when storing grain. He cites Illinois Missouri and Arkansas elevator failures with billions in losses, and advises legal consultation and strong warehouse receipts, noting negotiable forms and farmer bargaining power if defaults occur. He lists red flags such as delayed checks, rapid management changes, policy shifts, and audits, urging farmers to verify storage terms and avoid blind trust in familiar elevators.
