     234.08 Duties of sealer. 


    Under the direction of the department, a sealer shall: 


    (1) supervise the storage of grain; 


    (2) ascertain the amount stored by each owner who wants to 
 come under this chapter; 


    (3) determine the exact grade and quantity of stored grain, 
 so far as possible under rules made under this chapter; 


    (4) ascertain, before issuing a certificate, that the bin, 
 crib, granary, or other receptacle in which grain is stored is 
 satisfactory for the storage of that grain and that the 
 receptacle conforms to the applicable rules of the department.  


    A sealer shall, before delivering a certificate to an 
 owner, ascertain that there are no other certificates 
 outstanding upon the grain and seal the receptacle in which the 
 grain is stored as provided in this chapter.  The sealer shall 
 then make periodic inspections of the sealed receptacles at 
 times and in the manner the department requires, but at least 
 once every 90 days.  The sealer shall send to the department, 
 and to the owner when requested, a report or affidavit 
 concerning each periodic inspection in the form required by the 
 department.  The report must cover the amount and condition of 
 the grain under seal and the condition of the structure within 
 which it is stored.
