200.17 Seizure, condemnation, and sale.
Any lot of commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner not in compliance with the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to seizure on complaint of the secretary to a court of competent jurisdiction in the county or adjoining county in which the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner is located. In the event the court finds the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner to be in violation of this chapter and orders the condemnation of the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner, it shall be disposed of in any manner consistent with the quality of the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner and the laws of the state. However, in no instance shall the disposition of the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner be ordered by the court without first giving the claimant an opportunity to apply to the court for release of the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner or for permission to reprocess or relabel the commercial fertilizer or soil conditioner to bring it into compliance with this chapter.
