     514.956 Perfection of lien; filing. 

    Subdivision 1.    Perfection.  To perfect an 
 agricultural production input lien, the lien must attach and the 
 supplier entitled to the lien must file a lien-notification 
 statement with the appropriate filing office under section 
 336.9-401 by six months after the last date that the 
 agricultural production input was furnished.  

    Subd. 2.    Failure to perfect.  An agricultural 
 production input lien that is not perfected has the priority of 
 an unperfected security interest under section 336.9-312.  

    Subd. 3.    Duties of filing officer.  The filing 
 officer shall enter on the lien-notification statement the time 
 of day and date of filing.  The filing officer shall file, 
 amend, terminate, note the filing of a lien-notification 
 statement, and charge the fee for filing under this section in 
 the manner provided by section 336.9-403 for a financing 
 statement, except that the social security number of an 
 individual debtor or the Internal Revenue Service taxpayer 
 identification number for a debtor other than an individual is 
 not required.  A lien-notification statement is void and may be 
 removed from the filing system 18 months after the date of 
 filing.  The lien-notification statement may be physically 
 destroyed after 30 months from the date of filing.  

    Subd. 4.    Rules.  The secretary of state shall adopt 
 rules for the filing, amending, termination, and removal of
