PRODUCTS STATUTORY LIEN.
Subdivision 1. Selling not subject to lien. Except as provided in subdivision 2, and
notwithstanding other law or rule to the contrary, a commission merchant or selling agent who

farm products statutory lien is perfected and the commission merchant or selling agent knows
the lien exists.
Subd. 2. Selling subject to lien. A commission merchant or selling agent selling farm
products for another person is subject to a farm product statutory lien applicable to the purchased
farm products if the lienholder has perfected the farm products statutory lien and:
(1) the commission merchant or selling agent has failed to register with the secretary of state
as provided in section 336A.11; or
(2) the commission merchant or selling agent has registered with the secretary of state as
provided in section 336A.11, the commission merchant or selling agent receives a notice from
the secretary of state specifying that the seller and the farm products being sold are subject to
a lien notice, and the commission merchant or selling agent fails to secure a waiver or release
of the farm products statutory lien specified in the lien notice by making a payment, satisfying
an obligation, or otherwise.
