Highlight

Statutory lien laws are remedial and will be liberally construed to effectuate their purpose of protecting those who contribute labor, skill, or materials.
Under N.D.C.C. 35-31-01, "poults" or young turkeys may be considered "supplies" for purposes of obtaining an agricultural supplier's lien.
The term "agricultural product" as used in N.D.C.C. 35-31-03 includes "livestock" in granting priority to an agricultural supplier's lien.
