Federal Food Security Act

Which states maintain a central filing system under the Federal Food Security Act?

Currently, 19 states maintain a central filing system through that state’s Secretary of State office. These 19 states require a purchaser of certain farm products to register in the system in order to avoid being liable to a lender and seller. Furthermore, some states require registration with Secretary of State and the local county clerk recorder. For more information on each state’s requirements and how to find out if a seller’s farm product is subject to a security interest, please visit the Uniform Commercial Code section of each Secretary of State web site:
