In many states in the US, local governments require that any business that trades in grain to get a license in order to operate within that state. Other requirements of Alabama include a Certificate of Insurance in an amount that should be able to cover the grain of all the depositors. The permit fee differs, depending on the capacity. For those with no storage capacity, only $25 should be paid.
