In the discretion of the judicial officer, the temporary restraining order may prohibit the defendant from doing any of the following:
(a) Transferring any interest in the property by sale, pledge, or grant of security interest, or otherwise disposing of or encumbering, the property. If the property is farm products held for sale or lease or is inventory, the order may not prohibit the defendant from transferring the property in the ordinary course of business, but the order may impose appropriate restrictions on the disposition of the proceeds from such transfer.
