(5) A person who believes that the amount of an assessment is incorrect may apply to the commission within 60 days after paying the assessment for a refund of the excess amount paid.
(6) An assessment under this section is a lien on the grain and has priority over other liens or encumbrances on the grain except liens created by a statute of this state.
(7) The commission may, by rule, establish exemptions from assessment based on:
(a) Grain quantities;
(b) Types of grain sale; and
(c) Types of grain producer. [2003 c.604 §76 (enacted in lieu of 578.210); 2011 c.181 §12; 2013 c.93 §13]
