Assessments provided for in this article are levied upon the handler first marketing the iceberg lettuce being assessed. The handler is a trustee of the funds until they are paid to the commission at the time and in the manner prescribed by the commission. Failure of a handler to collect the assessment does not exempt the handler from liability for payment.
