ND Files Motion in Hansen-Mueller Bankruptcy Case

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture is seeking to recover a $778,000 surety bond in the Hansen-Mueller Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. A motion has been filed in U.S. bankruptcy court to have these funds put into a trust fund to be administered by Ag Commissioner Doug Goehring. The bond would be used to pay farmers and grain sellers who were not paid for grain sold to Hansen-Mueller. It is estimated there are 40 unsecured Hansen-Mueller creditors in North Dakota.
