     (1)  Commodities in liquid form shall be sold by liquid measure or weight; and

     (2)  Commodities not in liquid form shall be sold by weight, mass, volume, length, area, or by count;

provided that liquid commodities shall be sold by weight and commodities not in liquid form shall be sold by measures other than weight, when such methods give accurate information as to the quantity of commodity sold.  All methods of sale shall provide accurate and adequate quantity information that permits the buyer to make price and quantity comparisons.  The board may adopt such reasonable rules as may be necessary to assure that the measure of any commodity for sale reflects accurate information and fair measurement practices to all concerned.
