At the option of the seller, the commission shall purchase property under section 12 and provide farmland equity adjustment payments under section 13 on a deferred installment payment schedule not to exceed 10 years after the date of purchase.

The state may grant the sellers request under this subsection in the event of financial hardship or other reasonable cause. In the event of death of the seller, the state shall grant the request.
A deferred payment agreement entered into under this section shall be assignable.
