New Mexico Secretary of State Central Filing System for Agricultural Liens

The New Mexico Farm Products Central Filing System is a statewide filing system which permits the registration of a security interest in farm products by filing an Effective Financing Statement with the Office of the Secretary of State. The intent of the legislature was to adopt a central filing system for security interests relating to farm products pursuant to Section 1324 of the Food Security Act of 1985, Public Law 99-198. It was also the intent of the legislature that upon adoption of the central filing system, security interest holders be encouraged to use such system in lieu of any other notice provided by Section 1324 of the Food Security Act of 1985 for farm products used or produced in New Mexico which are included in the central filing system.


NOTICE REGARDING CHECKS PROVIDED FOR PAYMENT

Beginning April 1, 2015, the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office will start utilizing the Conversion of Checks to ACH banking services through Wells Fargo Fiscal Agent Banking Services. This service evaluates checks for conversion eligibility and then, if applicable, converts the checks to an ACH debit transaction. The ACH transaction is then charged to the consumer's bank account instead of the paper check. This is official 30 day notification to our customers, taxpayers, and other payees that your checks received for payment may be converted to an ACH debit transaction.

''When you provide a check as payment to the Secretary of State, you authorize the State of New Mexico to either use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction.”

Businesses or Persons affected by the Central Filing System:

  1. BUYER - Person who, in the ordinary course of business, buys farm products from a person engaged in farming operations who is in the business of selling farm products.
  2. LENDER - Persons or Businesses who use farm products to secure loans for those involved in farming operations.
  3. PRODUCER - Persons or Businesses engaged in agricultural farming operations
