Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Hancock County, Gregg R. Rosenbladt, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Heard at oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ.  Opinion by Langholz, J.  (11 pages)

            Scott Larson appeals the district court’s ruling on judicial review affirming the Iowa Grain Indemnity Fund Board’s denial of his indemnification claim for soybeans delivered to a licensed grain dealer before the dealer filed for bankruptcy.  OPINION HOLDS: Reviewing the administrative record as a whole, we agree substantial evidence supports the Board’s finding that Larson transferred title to the grain outside the six-month indemnity window.  We thus affirm the Board’s denial of his indemnification claim.
