(a) The department shall review annually the department's agricultural operations. The review must include:
(1) a cost-effectiveness analysis of all agricultural programs;
(2) a determination as to whether the department could more economically purchase certain agricultural products rather than produce those products; and
(3) a determination as to whether certain agricultural operations performed by inmates could be mechanized, taking into account whether mechanization would adversely affect security or inmate discipline.
(b) The department shall use the information provided by the annual review in developing and improving agricultural operations.
(c) The department shall provide the board with a copy of the annual review required by this section.
