. Proof of any sale of any farm product which is made by a
commission merchant for less than the current market price to any
person with whom he has any financial connection, directly or
indirectly as owner of its corporate stock, as copartner, or
otherwise, or any sale out of which such commission merchant
receives, directly or indirectly, any portion of the purchase price,
except the commission which is named in the licensee's application or
in a specific contract with the consignor, establishes a rebuttable
presumption of fraud within the meaning of this chapter. This
presumption is a presumption affecting the burden of proof.
