by a covperative marketing association composed exclusively of growers, of non-perishable, readily
marketaole, staple agrioul tural products, to finance
the orderly warketing of such products grown by such
grower or growers and secured at the time of acceptance by a warehouse, terminal, or other similar receipt, issued by a party independent of the borrower
