Scale tickets - Delivery upon demand
Official statutory text
A. 1. Each warehouseman, upon weighing commodities, shall
issue a scale ticket to the person from whom the commodities are
received on a form approved by the State Board of Agriculture. No
scale ticket shall be issued unless the Board has approved the form.
The scale ticket shall contain, but not be limited to, preprinted
consecutive numbers and lines for entering the weight, grade, kind,
test, and moisture of the commodity, the name and address of the
owner, and the signature or initials of the licensed weigher and
grader. The grade and the factors used to establish the grade shall
be documented on each scale ticket.
2. Each warehouseman is required to have a licensed weigher and
grader at each location to supervise the weighing and grading of
commodities received and sign the scale ticket.
3. The scale ticket shall be nonnegotiable, but may singly or
with others be exchanged for a state or federal negotiable warehouse
receipt. A scale ticket has protection under the surety provisions
of the Public Warehouse and Commodity Indemnity Act equal to a
warehouse receipt.
4. No warehouseman shall store a commodity except in a state-
chartered or federally licensed and bonded warehouse.
B. The warehouseman, in the absence of some lawful excuse,
shall immediately deliver the commodities stored upon a demand made
either by the holder of a receipt for the commodities or by the
depositor if the demand is accompanied by:
1. An offer to satisfy the warehouseman's lien;
2. An offer to surrender the receipt, if negotiable, with
endorsements as necessary for the negotiation of the receipts; and
3. A readiness and willingness to sign an acknowledgment that
the commodities have been delivered if a signature is requested by
the warehouseman.
