New open complaint pushes PSC to urge Nebraska grain producers to come forward

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Nebraska Public Service Commission has opened a complaint against The Andersons Inc., an Ohio-based agribusiness. The complaint is opened for failing to make timely payments to a Nebraska grain producer.

The complaint was filed by the Commission’s Grain Warehouses and Dealers Department after an investigation. The investigation involved the producer’s report that showed The Andersons had not paid for multiple grain deliveries.

According to the PSC, the company and producer have reached an agreement.

The Commission encouraged other Nebraska grain producers or sellers to come forward if they have experienced anything similar.

“Our priority is protecting Nebraska’s grain producers and ensuring buyers meet their obligations under state law,” said Terri Fritz, Grain Department director. “If producers are not being paid in a timely manner, we want to hear from them. Information from other sellers will help us determine whether this is an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern.”
