Upon ginning cotton into bales, the ginner shall assign each bale a permanent bale identification number. No bale shall be removed from a gin except when accompanied by a cotton bale voucher issued by the gin, containing the permanent bale identification number and issued in the name of the cotton producer. Except for removal to a bonded warehouse in the name of the cotton producer, transfers or sales from the cotton producer after ginning shall be endorsed by his or her signature on the cotton bale voucher or forms authorized by the Commissioner of Agriculture.
