Agricultural Liens

Agricultural liens are legal claims that farmers or agricultural suppliers can place on crops or livestock to secure a debt. When a farmer borrows money to buy seeds, equipment, or livestock, the lender can file a lien, giving them a right to the crops or animals produced as collateral until the debt is repaid. If the farmer fails to repay, the lender may sell the crops or livestock to recover the owed amount. These liens help protect the interests of those who provide essential financing in the agriculture sector.
