Sec. 729.308  Lien for penalty.

    (a) Lien on peanuts. Until the amount of any penalty provided by 
this part is paid, a lien on the crop of peanuts with respect to which 
such penalty is incurred, and on any subsequent crops of peanuts subject 
to poundage quotas in which the person liable for payment of the penalty 
has an interest, shall be in effect in favor of the United States.
    (b) Lien precedence. The lien on the peanuts takes precedence over 
all claims and attaches at the time the debt is entered on a county 
claim record in the county FSA office for the county in which the 
subsequent crop is grown.
