Agricultural processors who use machinery to process crops (like threshing grain or baling hay) must now file a financing statement with the Secretary of State within 60 days of finishing the work to protect their legal right to payment, and the filing must include details like the crop amount, location, service dates, and amount owed. The processor must also provide a copy of this filing to the farmer or crop owner they performed work for. This establishes clearer procedures for how these processors can claim a lien (legal claim) on the agricultural products they process if they aren't paid for their services.
