Cal. Civ. Code § 441.290
Every landlord shall have a superior lien, against which the tenant shall not be entitled to any exemption, upon the whole crop of the tenant raised upon the leased or rented premises, to reimburse the landlord for money or supplies furnished to the tenant to enable him to raise and harvest the crops or to subsist while carrying out his contract of tenancy, but the lien of the landlord shall not continue for more than one hundred and twenty days after the expiration of the tenancy, and, if the property upon which there is a lien be removed from the leased premises and not returned, the landlord shall have a superior lien upon the property so removed for fifteen days from the date of this removal, and may enforce his lien against the property wherever found.

Plain English

Missouri Revised Statutes § 441.290 establishes a special priority lien in favor of landlords over a tenant's entire crop grown on leased or rented land. This lien secures repayment for money or supplies the landlord provided to help the tenant grow and harvest crops or to support the tenant during the tenancy. The lien remains valid for up to 120 days after the tenancy ends, and if crop property is removed from the premises, a 15-day lien attaches to that removed property wherever it may be located.

For Property Managers

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.290, landlords who advance money or supplies to agricultural tenants for crop production or subsistence generally document those advances carefully to support a lien claim if needed. A compliant operator is mindful of the 120-day post-tenancy window during which the lien remains enforceable against crops still on the premises. When crop property leaves the leased land, landlords are aware that a separate 15-day lien period applies to the removed property, and they act within that timeframe to pursue any lien rights.

For Tenants

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.290 gives landlords a priority claim over crops when they have furnished money or supplies for crop production or tenant subsistence, and tenants generally have no exemption rights against this lien. Tenants should be aware that this lien can follow crop property even after it is removed from the leased premises, for up to 15 days from removal. Tenants who believe a lien is being improperly asserted or that advances were not actually made may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Missouri agricultural tenancy law.
