        185.26  ADMINISTRATION OF MONEYS.
         1.  The state assessment collected by the board shall be deposited
      in a special fund known as the soybean promotion fund, in the office
      of the treasurer of state.  The fund may also contain any gifts or
      federal or state grant received by the board.  Moneys collected,
      deposited into the fund, and transferred to the board, as provided in
      this chapter, shall be subject to audit by the auditor of state.  The
      department of administrative services shall transfer moneys from the
      fund to the board for deposit into an account known as the soybean
      checkoff account which shall be established by the board in a
      qualified financial institution.  The department shall transfer the
      moneys into the account as provided in a resolution adopted by the
      board.  However, the department is only required to transfer moneys
      once during each day and only during hours when the offices of the
      state are open.  From moneys collected, deposited, and transferred to
      the soybean checkoff account as provided in this section, the board
      shall first pay the costs of referendums, elections, and other
      expenses incurred in the administration of this chapter, before
      moneys may be expended to carry out the purposes of the board as
      provided in section 185.11.  The board shall strictly segregate
      moneys in the soybean checkoff account from all other moneys of the
      board.  Moneys in the soybean checkoff account shall be expended by
      the board exclusively for carrying out the purposes of the board as
      provided in section 185.11.  The account shall be subject to audit by
      the auditor of state.
         2.  The fiscal year of the association shall commence on October 1
      and end on September 30.
