58-243. Same; effect of lien; priority; what lien attaches to; when lien attaches. (a) A supplier who furnishes crop production inputs has a lien for the unpaid retail cost of the crop production inputs. Subject to the limitations of subsection (d) of K.S.A. 58-242, the lien shall have priority over a security interest of a lender only if perfected and if the supplier notifies the lender of the supplier's lien pursuant to K.S.A. 58-242. The lien attaches to:
(1) The existing crops upon the land where the furnished agricultural chemical was applied or if crops are not planted, to the next production crop within 16 months following the last date on which the agricultural chemical was applied;
(2) the crops produced from the furnished seed; or
(3) the crops produced, harvested or processed using the furnished petroleum product. If the crops are grown on leased land and the lease provides for payment in crops, the lien does not attach to the lessor's share of the crops. The lien continues in crop products and proceeds, except that the lien does not continue after a cash sale.
(b) A supplier who furnishes livestock production inputs has a lien for the unpaid retail cost of the livestock production input. Subject to the limitations of subsection (d) of K.S.A. 58-242, the lien shall have priority over a security interest of a lender only if perfected and if the supplier notifies the lender of such supplier's lien pursuant to K.S.A. 58-242. The lien attaches to all livestock consuming the feed and continues in livestock products and proceeds, except that the lien does not continue after a cash sale. A perfected lien that attaches to livestock may not exceed the amount, if any, that the sales price of the livestock exceeds the greater of the fair market value of the livestock at the time the lien attaches or the acquisition price of the livestock.
(c) A lien attaches when the agricultural production inputs are furnished by the supplier to the purchaser.
