Any such refunding bonds may be issued whether the bonds to be refunded shall have then matured or shall thereafter mature, and such refunding may be effected either by sale of the refunding bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof to the payment or redemption of the bonds so refunded or by exchange of the refunding bonds for those to be refunded thereby.
(b) The proceeds derived from any sale of refunding bonds remaining after payment of the expenses of their issuance shall be applied in accordance with the proceedings of the Board of Agriculture and Industries under which such refunding bonds are issued. Pending the application of the proceeds to the purchase, redemption, or payment of such outstanding bonds, such proceeds may be invested in permitted investments pursuant to a trust agreement providing for the future application of such proceeds to the purchase, redemption, or payment of such outstanding bonds. Bonds refunded prior to their maturity with the proceeds of refunding bonds shall be deemed not outstanding if the Board of Agriculture and Industries, in the proceedings under which such refunding bonds are issued, establishes a trust fund consisting of cash or government securities, or both, sufficient to pay in accordance with the provisions of such trust fund when due, the entire principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the bonds to be refunded; provided that such government securities shall not be subject to redemption prior to their maturities other than at the option of the holder thereof.
