A. Whenever twenty-five or more growers within any given area petition the director to create a district within the area described in the petition, he shall call an election to be held within the area. The call for election shall be posted in five public places within the proposed district and published once in a newspaper of general circulation in each county lying within, or partly within, the proposed district not less than five days prior to the date of the election. At the election, each grower in the proposed district who has up to ten acres of cotton shall have one vote, and he shall have one additional vote for each additional ten acres or major fraction. If sixty percent of the votes cast in the election favor the creation, the district is created.
B. Within thirty days after creation, the director shall call a meeting of growers of the district to perfect the district organization and to select a district board of directors. The district board shall consist of at least five, but not more than nine, members, as determined by the growers at their first meeting.
C. Each district is a corporate body with power to sue and be sued and to pass bylaws for governing the organization.
D. Districts may be abolished after a period of two years in the same manner as provided for their creation.
