The following are some of the most common types of agricultural bonds.

These bonds are designed to ensure farm labor contractors operate ethically and in compliance with labor standards such as wage laws, working conditions, and recruitment regulations.

These bonds are often required by state agencies for individuals who buy and resell agricultural products. Essentially, these bonds help safeguard the agricultural supply chain. Depending on the product, dealers may need a livestock dealer bond, grain dealer bond, produce dealer bond, or milk dealer bond.
