Such deduction shall be made from each payment for milk or cream by the dealer receiving such milk or cream in such manner as the director prescribes and shall be paid to those performing such operations in such manner as the director prescribes.
The director may group separately producers and dealers receiving such producers' milk or cream by types of operation such as fluid milk operations, milk manufacturing operations, cheese making, and butter manufacturing. This section shall be applicable to each group separately in any market area.
The director shall discontinue any such special service upon petition of the majority of the producers affected, and he may discontinue such service upon his own initiative.
