20. In the draft joint plan, instead of specifying the composition of the producers’ board to be entrusted with implementing and administering the plan, the applicants may, for that purpose, designate a professional syndicate composed exclusively of producers of farm products contemplated by the draft, or a union or federation of such professional syndicates, or a farmers’ cooperative or an agricultural cooperative whose sole object is the marketing of such farm products.
Whenever the carrying out of a joint plan is entrusted to such a body, it is vested, under its corporate name, with all the powers and attributions of a producers’ board and has all the duties thereof.
These attributions, powers and duties shall be exercised by the board of directors of such body, except those reserved to the general meeting of producers under this Act.
