§ 72030 Wheat Handler Liability Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •A 'handler' is anyone who sells, markets, or moves wheat they grew, bought, or got from a farmer.
  • •If a company handles wheat, the bosses and managers can be personally responsible if the company doesn’t pay required fees.
  • •Even if you work for a company, you might have to pay if the company doesn’t follow the rules.

Example

A big company buys wheat from farmers and sells it, but doesn’t pay the required fees to the state.

The company’s bosses could be forced to pay the fees themselves, even if they didn’t personally handle the money.
