North Dakota § 35-31-01

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 35: Liens
• Ch. 35-31: Agricultural Supplier's Lien

Text

Any person who furnishes supplies used in the production of crops, agricultural products, or
livestock is entitled to a lien upon the crops, products produced by the use of the supplies, and
livestock and their products including milk. As used in this chapter, the term "supplies" includes
seed, petroleum products, fertilizer, farm chemicals, insecticide, feed, hay, pasturage, veterinary
services, or the furnishing of services in delivering or applying the supplies. Except as otherwise
provided in this section, an agricultural supplier's lien filed in accordance with section 35-31-02
is effective from the date the supplies are furnished or the services performed. An agricultural
supplier's lien filed as a security interest created by contract to secure money advanced or
loaned for any purposes is not effective to secure a priority over liens filed under section
35-05-01. This chapter does not limit the sale, assignment, or transfer of an agricultural
supplier's lien. However, the priority of an effective agricultural supplier's lien is not transferable
from the original lienholder. After sale, assignment, or transfer, the priority of an effective
agricultural supplier's lien is to be determined as of the date the lien was filed and in accordance
with section 41-09-33.
