Any person who provides wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, flax, sudan, milo, millet, soybeans, sunflowers, or potatoes, to be planted upon any lands owned, used or rented by another has a lien upon the crop produced from the seed, if the person providing the seed files the notice specified in § 38-17-5. A landlord and tenant may limit the amount of seed to be furnished to a tenant by a provision in a lease if the lease is filed in the register of deeds office before the seed is furnished to the tenant.
