  2.  As used in this section, the following terms mean:

  (1)  "Authority", the agriculture and small business development authority as provided in this chapter;

  (2)  "Contributor", an individual, partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company, entity or person that contributes cash funds to the authority;

  (3)  "Development facility", a facility producing either a good derived from an agricultural commodity or using a process to produce a good derived from an agricultural product;

  (4)  "Eligible new generation cooperative", a nonprofit cooperative association formed pursuant to chapter 274, or incorporated pursuant to chapter 357, for the purpose of operating within this state a development facility or a renewable fuel production facility;

  (5)  "Eligible new generation processing entity", a partnership, corporation, cooperative, or limited liability company organized or incorporated pursuant to the laws of this state consisting of not less than twelve members, approved by the authority, for the purpose of owning or operating within this state a development facility or a renewable fuel production facility in which producer members:

  (a)  Hold a majority of the governance or voting rights of the entity and any governing committee;

  (b)  Control the hiring and firing of management; and

  (c)  Deliver agricultural commodities or products to the entity for processing, unless processing is required by multiple entities;

  (6)  "Renewable fuel production facility", a facility producing an energy source which is derived from a renewable, domestically grown, organic compound capable of powering machinery, including an engine or power plant, and any by-product derived from such energy source.

  3.  For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1999, a contributor who contributes funds to the authority may receive a credit against the tax or estimated quarterly tax otherwise due pursuant to chapter 143, other than taxes withheld pursuant to sections 143.191 to 143.265, chapter 148 chapter 147, in an amount of up to one hundred percent of such contribution.  Tax credits claimed in a taxable year may be done so on a quarterly basis and applied to the estimated quarterly tax pursuant to this subsection.  If a quarterly tax credit claim or series of claims contributes to causing an overpayment of taxes for a taxable year, such overpayment shall not be refunded but shall be applied to the next taxable year.  The awarding of such credit shall be at the approval of the authority, based on the least amount of credits necessary to provide incentive for the contributions.  A contributor that receives tax credits for a contribution to the authority shall receive no other consideration or compensation for such contribution, other than a federal tax deduction, if applicable, and goodwill.

  4.  A contributor shall submit to the authority an application for the tax credit authorized by this section on a form provided by the authority.  If the contributor meets all criteria prescribed by this section and the authority, the authority shall issue a tax credit certificate in the appropriate amount.  Tax credits issued pursuant to this section may be claimed in the taxable year in which the contributor contributes funds to the authority.  For all fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2004, tax credits allowed pursuant to this section may be carried back to any of the contributor's three prior tax years and may be carried forward to any of the contributor's five subsequent taxable years.  Tax credits issued pursuant to this section may be assigned, transferred or sold and the new owner of the tax credit shall have the same rights in the credit as the contributor.  Whenever a certificate of tax credit is assigned, transferred, sold or otherwise conveyed, a notarized endorsement shall be filed with the authority specifying the name and address of the new owner of the tax credit or the value of the credit.

  5.  The funds derived from contributions in this section shall be used for financial assistance or technical assistance for the purposes provided in section 348.407 to rural agricultural business concepts as approved by the authority.  The authority may provide or facilitate loans, equity investments, or guaranteed loans for rural agricultural business concepts, but limited to two million dollars per project or the net state economic impact, whichever is less.  Loans, equity investments or guaranteed loans may only be provided to feasible projects, and for an amount that is the least amount necessary to cause the project to occur, as determined by the authority.  The authority may structure the loans, equity investments or guaranteed loans in a way that facilitates the project, but also provides for a compensatory return on investment or loan payment to the authority, based on the risk of the project.

  6.  In any given year, at least ten percent of the funds granted to rural agricultural business concepts shall be awarded to grant requests of twenty-five thousand dollars or less.  No single rural agricultural business concept shall receive more than two hundred thousand dollars in grant awards from the authority.  Agricultural businesses owned by minority members or women shall be given consideration in the allocation of funds.
