§ 79-19-31. Marketing contract.
 

The association and its members may make and execute marketing contracts, requiring the members to sell, for any period of time, not over ten (10) years, all or any specified part of their agricultural products or specified commodities exclusively to or through the association, or any facilities to be created by the association. If they contract a sale to the association, it shall be conclusively held that title to the products passes absolutely and unreservedly, except for recorded liens, to the association upon delivery, or when put in a merchantable condition, or at any other specified time if expressly and definitely agreed in the said contract. The contract may provide that the association may sell or resell the products delivered by its members, with or without taking title thereto; and pay over to its members the resale price, after deducting all necessary selling, overhead, and other costs, deductions as defined in said contract, and expenses, including interest on preferred stock, not exceeding eight percent (8%) per annum, and reserves for retiring the stock, if any; and other proper reserves; and interest not exceeding eight percent (8%) per annum upon common stock.
