PSC Temporarily Suspends Omaha Grain Dealer's License

Lincoln, Oct. 24, 2025 – The Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) at an emergency meeting today, Friday, Oct. 24, issued an Order (GD-2149/GDC-467) temporarily suspending the Grain Dealer license held by Hansen-Mueller Co. of Omaha and opening a department complaint (GD-2149/GDC-467). The Order means the company can no longer do business as a grain dealer in Nebraska,  including buying grain from producers/sellers with the intent to sell it.

“While we don’t often hold emergency meetings, the Commission felt it was in the public good to move forward with the temporary suspension of this grain dealer’s license at this time,” said Commission Chair Tim Schram.

The PSC grain department was recently made aware that Hansen-Mueller was not meeting its obligations as a grain dealer. During an Oct. 23 inspection by the PSC Grain Department, the company was alleged to be in violation of Neb. Rev. Stat § 75-903.01(2) and 291 Neb. Admin. Code §8-003.09 for failing to make payment on demand.

With the filing of a formal complaint against Hansen-Mueller, the company will be required to show why its grain dealer license should not be revoked and a civil penalty assessed. 

Commissioner Schram said, “We encourage producer/sellers to always be vigilant. It is imperative with harvest season underway that they are well aware of this company and that it cannot act as a grain dealer in Nebraska at this time.”

Producers/sellers who have done business with Hansen-Mueller Co. and have questions are encouraged to contact the PSC Grain Department. Grain department contact information along with a list of licensed Grain Dealers in Nebraska can be found on the Grain Department page of the PSC website.
