§ 35-36-311 — Pooled consignment

Local produce or fruit associations or other
shippers located in the neighborhood where farm products are grown may receive a
reasonable compensation for loading, shipping, and securing persons to handle the
products on commission in markets away from the locality where grown. Dealers
receiving consignments of farm products from a number of consignors under
written agreements or under written authority from them to market the products in
season and prorate the net proceeds of the consignments among all consignors or
to market the same in connection with other products of the same class may
withhold the proportion of the net returns of sales of the consignments as may be
necessary to carry out the agreements pertaining to the consignments until final
sales have been made. In every case, final settlement shall be made within fifteen
days after the final sale of the consignment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing
by the consignor.
