1. (1) The provisions of ORS 586.210 to 586.561 do not apply to any public warehouse or other facility where the owner or operator thereof only receives grain:

   1. (a) The owner or operator has purchased or has agreed to purchase,
   2. (b) For processing or cleaning for the owner of the grain,

   3. (c) For such purposes other than storage or handling as the State Department of Agriculture may by rule prescribe,

      if the records of the owner or operator include such written evidence as the department requires, furnished on or before delivery of the grain by the owner or the authorized agent of the owner, clearly showing that the grain was left or deposited for one or more of the purposes set forth in this subsection.

2. (2) Grain left or deposited with an owner or operator whose records do not clearly include the evidence showing such grain was only left or deposited for one or more purposes as required by subsection (1) of this section, must be considered by the department to be grain deposited for storage and handling pursuant to ORS 586.210 to 586.561. Such owner or operator and the warehouse or other facility of the owner or operator where grain is received, are subject to all provisions of ORS 586.210 to 586.561 during the license period.
