The maximum charges and expenses to be maintained by operators under this Act receiving tobacco to be stored until sold in the subsequent selling season shall not exceed five cents ($.05) per pound for services rendered, if sold on a green weight basis. If sold on a dry weight basis, the charges may also include the actual cost of redrying as leaves or strips and shipping charges. If the contract between the operator and the producer contains a minimum price below which the tobacco may not be sold including five cents ($.05) per pound service charge and the actual sale price is in excess of this minimum amount then the operator shall return to the producer not less than 50% of the additional amount received less any additional cost for processing and shipping.
