(1) No warehouseman shall issue a receipt for grain not known by the warehouseman to be in the public warehouse of the warehouseman. (2) When partial withdrawal of the grain of the depositor is made by a depositor, the warehouseman shall make appropriate notation thereof on the depositor’s nonnegotiable receipt and on other records as prescribed by the State Department of Agriculture, or, if the warehouseman has theretofore issued a negotiable receipt to the depositor, the warehouseman shall claim, cancel and replace it with a negotiable receipt showing the amount of such depositor’s grain remaining in the public warehouse. (3) A nonnegotiable receipt shall have plainly lettered upon the face thereof, "Not Negotiable" or "Nonnegotiable." (4) For failure of the warehouseman to claim and cancel, on delivery by grain stored in the public warehouse of the warehouseman, a negotiable receipt therefor issued by the warehouseman, the negotiation of which would transfer the right to possession of such grain, a warehouseman shall be liable to any one who purchases such receipt for value and in good faith, for failure to deliver to the purchaser all the grain specified in the receipt, whether such purchaser acquired title to the negotiable receipt before or after delivery of any part of the grain by the warehouseman.

(1) A warehouseman shall be liable for any loss or injury to the grain in the public warehouse of the warehouseman caused by the failure of the warehouseman to exercise such care in regard to it as a reasonably careful person would exercise in regard to similar grain of the person’s own. (2)(a) If a warehouseman discovers that as a result of a quality or condition of certain grain placed in the public warehouse of the warehouseman, of which the warehouseman had no notice at the time of deposit, such grain is a hazard to other grain or to persons or to the public warehouse, and if it is not immediately removed by the owners at the request of the warehouseman, the warehouseman may sell the grain at public or private sale without advertisement but with reasonable notification to all persons known to claim an interest in the grain. If the warehouseman after a reasonable effort is unable to sell the grain, the warehouseman may dispose of it in any other lawful manner and shall incur no liability by reason of such disposition. (b) At any time prior to sale or disposition as authorized in this section, the warehouseman shall deliver the grain to any person entitled to it, upon proper demand and payment of charges. (c) From the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the grain the warehouseman may satisfy the charges of the warehouseman for which otherwise the warehouseman would have a lien, and shall hold the balance thereof for delivery on the demand of any person to whom the warehouseman would have been required to deliver the grain.

The receiver shall investigate each claim, determine the pro rata share of grain less setoffs, or the proceeds of the sale of such grains, due each claimant. The receiver shall also determine the amount, if any, due each claimant by the surety. The court after hearing may adopt or amend the findings of the receiver and shall by order, make distribution of grains or the proceeds from the sale of grains. The court by order shall also require the surety to make payment to claimants. Such orders unless appealed as otherwise authorized by law, are to be a final settlement of such matters between the parties concerned. The receiver is authorized with the approval of the court to continue the operation of all or any part of the entire business of the warehouseman and to take any other course of action or procedure which will best serve the interests of the depositors or those who need and use the services offered by the licensee and the warehouse.
