Any rent due for farming land shall be a lien on the crop growing or made on the premises. Such lien may be enforced by action and attachment therein, as hereinafter provided.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2524, when rent is owed on farmland in Kansas, the law automatically creates a lien in favor of the landlord on any crop that is growing or has been harvested on that land. This lien is a legal claim against the crop itself, not just a personal obligation of the tenant. The lien can be enforced through a court action combined with an attachment proceeding as outlined in the statute.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2524, landlords who lease farmland in Kansas generally have a statutory lien on crops grown on the premises when rent goes unpaid, without needing a separate written agreement to create that lien. Compliant operators typically document rent amounts and due dates clearly in their lease agreements so that the lien amount is easily established if enforcement becomes necessary. Enforcement of the lien requires initiating a court action and seeking attachment of the crop through the procedures set out in the statute.

For Tenants

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501–58-2524, tenants farming leased land in Kansas should be aware that unpaid rent gives the landlord a legal claim directly against the crops grown on the premises. This means crops could potentially be subject to court-ordered attachment if a landlord pursues enforcement through the statutory process. Tenants who have questions about whether a lien has been properly asserted or whether rent was legitimately owed may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or an attorney familiar with Kansas agricultural tenancy law.
