The board of agriculture may examine and audit the books and accounts of licensed producers, producer-distributors, and distributors for the purpose of determining how payments to producers and producer-distributors are computed, whether the amounts of the payments are fair, or whether any provisions of this chapter affecting such payments, directly or indirectly, have been or are being violated. The board may also examine and audit the costs of the production, handling, processing, distribution, and marketing of milk as they may affect such payments, directly or indirectly.
