383.120 Contract for portion of crop for rent -- Rights of landlord -- Purchasers of

crops.

(1) Contracts by which a landlord is to receive a portion of the crop planted or to be

planted, as compensation for the use or rent of the land, shall vest in him the right to

such a portion of the crop when planted as he has contracted for, though the crop

may be planted or raised by a person other than the one contracted with or though a

different kind of crop than the one contracted for be planted. For the taking of or

injury to any of such crops, the landlord may recover damages against the

wrongdoer. The landlord may also have an injunction against any person to prevent

the taking or injury of his portion of the crops.

(2) This section does not bar the landlord from his right to the damages against the

person contracted with that he may sustain by reason of the land being planted

without his assent in a crop other than that contracted for, or not planted at all, or

for failure to cultivate the crop in a proper manner.

(3) This section includes a purchaser without notice of a growing crop remaining on the

premises, though severed from the land, but does not apply to a purchaser in good

faith without notice of a crop, after it has been removed for twenty (20) days from

the rented premises on which it was planted.
