PER CURIAM.

Transamerica Insurance Company appeals an adverse judgment on warehouseman's bonds issued on behalf of a federally licensed elevator to ensure the elevator's performance for grain stored in its warehouses. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude that an extensive discussion is not warranted. The district court has written a thorough opinion, and we have nothing to add to the district court's analysis. We conclude the judgment of the district court was correct, and we affirm on the basis of the district court's opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
