§ 4:13-50.

a. No association complying with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be a conspiracy,

or a combination in restraint of trade, or an illegal monopoly; or be deemed to have

been formed for the purpose of lessening competition or fixing prices arbitrarily,

nor shall the contracts between the association and its producers, or any agreements

authorized in this act, be construed as an unlawful restraint of trade, or as a part

of a conspiracy or combination to accomplish an improper or illegal purpose or act. b. An association may acquire, exchange, interpret and disseminate past, present and

prospective crop, market, statistical, economic and other similar information relating

to the business of the association, either directly or through an agent created or

selected by it or by other associations acting in conjunction with it. c. An association may advise its members in respect to the adjustment of their current

and prospective production of agricultural commodities and its relation to the prospective

volume of consumption, selling prices and existing or potential surplus, to the end

that every market may be served from the most convenient productive areas under a

program of orderly marketing that will assure adequate supplies without undue enhancement

of prices or the accumulation of any undue surplus of agricultural products.
