§ 6082 Cotton District Asset Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •After 90 days from an election, the board must give all the district's property and money to the counties where cotton is grown.
  • •The property and money are divided based on how much land in each county is used for growing cotton.
  • •The county must use this money and property to help cotton farmers and cotton growing.

Example

Imagine a big cotton farming area with three counties: County A, B, and C. County A has the most cotton fields, County B has some, and County C has the least.

After 90 days from the election, the board will give most of the district's tractors, tools, and money to County A because it has the most cotton fields. County B will get some, and County C will get the least. Each county must use these things to help their cotton farmers, like buying better seeds or fixing irrigation systems.
