6 The bond shall be in a minimum amount sufficient to satisfy all
7 existing grain obligations of the licensee for grain purchased,

10 consideration of other factors, including, but not limited to,
11 the total dollar amount of grain purchased annually by the
12 licensee and the value of the storage obligations of the
