Sec. 52.064. COMMON STOCK. (a) If a marketing association consists of fewer than 20 stockholders, a stockholder may not own more than one share of the marketing association's issued common stock. If the marketing association consists of 20 or more stockholders, a stockholder may not own more than one-twentieth of a marketing association's issued common stock. A marketing association with more than 20 stockholders, by its bylaws, may limit the amount of common stock that one stockholder may own to an amount less than one-twentieth of the issued common stock.
(b) At any time, except when the association's debts exceed 50 percent of its assets, a marketing association may purchase its common stock at the book value conclusively determined by its board of directors and pay cash for the stock within one year thereafter.
(c) A person may not transfer common stock of a marketing association to a person who does not produce agricultural products handled by the association. The association shall state this restriction in its bylaws and shall print the restriction on each common stock certificate.
