(735 ILCS 5/9-316) (from Ch. 110, par. 9-316)
Sec. 9-316. Lien upon crops. Every landlord shall have a
lien upon the the crops grown or growing upon the demised
premises for the rent thereof, whether the same is payable
wholly or in part in money or specific articles of property or
products of the premises, or labor, and also for the faithful
performance of the terms of the lease. Such lien shall continue
for the period of 6 months after the expiration of the term for
which the premises are demised, and may be enforced by
distraint as provided in Part 3 of Article IX of this Act.
A good faith purchaser shall, however, take such crops free
of any landlord's lien unless, within 6 months prior to the
purchase, the landlord provides written notice of his lien to
the purchaser by registered or certified mail. Such notice
shall contain the names and addresses of the landlord and
tenant, and clearly identify the leased property.
A landlord may require that, prior to his tenant's selling
any crops grown on the demised premises, the tenant disclose

the name of the person to whom the tenant intends to sell those
crops. Where such a requirement has been imposed, the tenant
shall not sell the crops to any person other than a person who
has been disclosed to the landlord as a potential buyer of the
crops.
A lien arising under this Section shall have priority over
any agricultural lien as defined in, and over any security
interest arising under, provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code.
