When any owner of a farm, the name of which has been recorded as provided in this chapter, transfers by deed or otherwise the whole of such farm, the transfer may include the registered name thereof; but, if the owner shall transfer only a portion of such farm, the registered name thereof shall not be deemed transferred, unless so stated in the conveyance.

When any owner of a registered farm desires to cancel its registered name, the owner shall write on the back of the certificate the following: “This name is canceled, and I hereby release all rights thereunder,” and shall sign such statement in the presence of a witness and file the same in the office of the commissioner of agriculture and food. For such filing the commissioner of agriculture and food shall charge a fee determined by the commissioner pursuant to Section 63J-1-504 , which shall be paid to the General Fund. The commissioner of agriculture and food shall, when such certificate so endorsed has been filed in the commissioner’s office, write on the margin of the register of such name the word “canceled.”
