   2.  “Agricultural products” include horticultural, viticultural, forestry, dairy, livestock, poultry, bee and any other farm products.
   3.  “Association” means a corporation formed under this chapter.
   4.  A“cooperative association” is one which deals with or functions for its members at least to the extent required by section 499.3; and which distributes its net earnings among its members in proportion to their dealings with it, except for limited dividends or other items permitted in this chapter; and in which each voting member has one vote and no more.
   5.  “Local deferred patronage dividends” of an association means that portion of each member’s deferred patronage dividends described in section 499.30 which the board of directors of the association has determined arise from earnings of the association other than earnings which have been allocated to the association but which have not been paid in cash to the association by other cooperative organizations of which the association is a member. However, if the board of directors fails to make a determination with respect to a deceased member’s deferred patronage dividends prior to the member’s death, then “local deferred patronage dividends” means that portion of the member’s deferred patronage dividends which is proportional to the deferred patronage dividends described in section 499.30 less the amount of undistributed net earnings which have been allocated to the association by other cooperative organizations of which the association is a member, compared to all deferred patronage dividends of the association.

If preferred stock has been issued in exchange for deferred patronage dividends prior to the time the board of directors of the association has determined the portion of each member’s deferred patronage dividend which represents local deferred patronage dividends, then the board of directors may reasonably determine what portion of the preferred stock was issued in exchange for local deferred patronage dividends and the portion which was issued for other deferred patronage dividends.

   Code section 16.135: Clarifies, by adding the words “wastewater treatment”, that the system referred to in this provision relating to a wastewater viability assessment is a wastewater treatment system and not a “water system” as defined in Code section 16.131A.
