§ 57562 Agricultural Lien Notice Duration

Key Takeaways

  • •If you sell farm stuff (like seeds or chemicals) and don't get paid, your lien stays active.
  • •You don't need to file a new lien every time if you keep selling to the same farmer.
  • •If you stop selling for more than 45 days, the lien might not stay active.

Example

A farmer buys seeds from a store but doesn't pay. The store keeps selling more seeds to the farmer every month.

The store's lien stays active because they keep selling seeds regularly (less than 45 days apart). They don’t need to file a new lien each time.

§ 57562 Agricultural Lien Notice Duration

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the notice of claim of lien shall remain in effect, and no new notice of claim of lien shall be required in order to maintain the lien, as long as the person who provides the agricultural chemicals and labor or agricultural seeds and labor either (1) remains unpaid for the amounts secured by the lien; or (2) continues to provide agricultural chemicals and labor or agricultural seeds and labor on a regular basis to the lien debtor. For purposes of this section, providing agricultural chemicals and labor or agricultural seeds and labor shall not be deemed to be made on a regular basis if a period of more than 45 days elapses between applications, deliveries, or preparations. (Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1502, Sec. 2.)
