Annotations
Under this section, a valid fertilizer lien is created at the time products, labor, or machinery is supplied, and section 52-1103 establishes the priority of that lien. A lien must be filed within sixty days of the delivery, or that lien, though still valid on crops produced within one year of the date the product was supplied and on proceeds for the sale of such crops, will not have priority over subsequent lienholders.
