Section 99.22. Grain warehouse keeper licensing.

 

(1)   Grain warehouse capacity.

(a) The capacity of a grain warehouse, for purposes of ch. 126 , Stats. , is the sum of the capacities of the grain bins comprising that grain warehouse. To calculate the capacity of each grain bin, divide the number of cubic feet in that bin by 1.244 cubic feet per bushel and then multiply the result by the appropriate pack factor under par. (b) . If not all walls of the grain bin are vertical, calculate the capacity of each vertical foot of the bin and add those capacities to obtain the total capacity of the bin.

(b) The pack factor under par. (a) is shown in the following table, based on the shape of the grain bin as viewed from above and the bushels per foot calculated according to par. (c) . If not all walls of the grain bin are vertical, determine the pack factor for each vertical foot of the grain bin based on the bushels per foot for that vertical foot and the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the grain bin at that level. - See PDF for table

(c) To calculate bushels per foot, for purposes of par. (b) , divide the number of square feet in the floor of the grain bin by 1.244 cubic feet per bushel. If not all walls of the grain bin are vertical, calculate bushels per foot for each vertical foot of the grain bin based on the number of square feet in a horizontal cross-section of the grain bin at that level.

(2)   Sworn and notarized statement. An applicant for a grain warehouse keeper license under ch. 126 , Stats. , shall include, with the license application, a sworn and notarized statement stating that the information provided on the application is complete and accurate.
