514.954 Lien attachment.

Subdivision 1. Lien on crops. A supplier who furnishes crop production inputs has an agricultural input lien for the unpaid retail cost of the crop production inputs. The lien attaches to: (1) the existing crops upon the land where a 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 furnished seed; or (3) the crops produced, harvested, or processed using a 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 portion of the crops. The lien continues in crop products and proceeds.

Subd. 2. Lien on livestock. A supplier who furnishes livestock production inputs has an agricultural production input lien for the unpaid retail cost of the livestock production input. The lien attaches to all livestock consuming the feed and continues in livestock products and proceeds. A perfected agricultural production input 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.

Subd. 3. Time of attachment. An agricultural input lien attaches when the agricultural production inputs are furnished by the supplier to the purchaser.
