follows:
1.
The
division
may
establish
a
conservation
practices
revolving
loan
fund
composed
of
any
money
appropriated
by
the
general
assembly
for
that
purpose,
and
of
any
other
moneys
available
to
and
obtained
or
accepted
by
the
committee
division
from
the
federal
government
or
private
sources
for
placement
in
that
fund.
Except
as
otherwise
provided
by
subsection
3
,
the
assets
of
the
conservation
practices
revolving
loan
fund
shall
be
used
only
to
make
loans
directly
to
owners
of
land
in
this
state
for
the
purpose
of
establishing
on
that
land
any
new
permanent
soil
and
water
conservation
practice
which
the
commissioners
of
the
soil
and
water
conservation
district
in
which
the
land
is
located
have
found
is
necessary
or
advisable
to
meet
the
soil
loss
limits
established
for
that
land.
A
loan
shall
not
be
made
for
establishing
a
permanent
soil
and
water
conservation
practice
on
land
that
is
subject
to
the
restriction
on
state
cost-sharing
funds
of
section
161A.76
.
Revolving
loan
funds
and
public
cost-sharing
funds
may
be
used
in
combination
for
funding
a
particular
soil
and
water
conservation
practice.
Each
loan
made
under
this
section
shall
be
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
ten
years,
shall
bear
no
interest,
and
shall
be
repayable
to
the
conservation
practices
revolving
loan
fund
in
equal
yearly
installments
due
March
1
of
each
year
the
loan
is
in
effect.
The
interest
rate
upon
loans
for
which
payment
is
delinquent
shall
accelerate
immediately
to
Senate
File

p.
11
the
current
legal
usury
limit.
Applicants
are
eligible
for
no
more
than
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
loans
outstanding
at
any
time
under
this
program.
“Permanent
soil
and
water
conservation
practices”
has
the
same
meaning
as
defined
in
section
161A.42
and
those
established
under
this
program
are
subject
to
the
requirements
of
section
161A.7,
subsection
3
.
Loans
made
under
this
program
shall
come
due
for
payment
upon
sale
of
the
land
on
which
those
practices
are
established.
4.
This
section
does
not
negate
the
provisions
of
section
161A.48
that
an
owner
or
occupant
of
land
in
this
state
shall
not
be
required
to
establish
any
new
soil
and
water
conservation
practice
unless
public
cost-sharing
funds
have
been
approved
and
are
available
for
the
land
affected.
However,
the
owner
of
land
with
respect
to
which
an
administrative
order
to
establish
soil
and
water
conservation
practices
has
been
issued
under
section
161A.47
but
not
complied
with
for
lack
of
public
cost-sharing
funds,
may
waive
the
right
to
await
availability
of
such
funds
and
instead
apply
for
a
loan
under
this
section
to
establish
any
permanent
soil
and
water
conservation
practices
necessary
to
comply
with
the
order.
If
a
landowner
does
so,
that
loan
application
shall
be
given
reasonable
preference
by
the
committee
division
if
there
are
applications
for
more
loans
under
this
section
than
can
be
made
from
the
money
available
in
the
conservation
practices
revolving
loan
fund.
If
it
is
found
necessary
to
deny
an
application
for
a
soil
and
water
conservation
practices
loan
to
a
landowner
who
has
waived
the
right
to
availability
of
public
cost-sharing
funds
before
complying
with
an
administrative
order
issued
under
section
161A.47
,
the
landowner’s
waiver
is
void.

shall
consider
evidence
of
actual

being
