This came up and i realize it varies by state: You have a court case and win thus putting a lien on the subject's property. What can you do after this to force him to pay/sell etc. #2 Can a agricultural crop be liend or used as a garnishment to satisfy debt?? I am not a participant in the above.
 
Liens are not automatic, you have to file them in a county where the property is. The Liens have to be satisfied before the property can be transferred (sold). If you don't want to wait that long, you can force a "Sheriff's sale" of property.
I don't think you can lien a crop.

Not a lawyer, but I did win a small judgement many years ago and waited 6 years before a real estate broker called me to get a lien satisfied.
 
don't think I'd want to put a lien on a crop or harvested items , can be easily be destroyed, and or poisoned beyond usability as a vengeance prior to recovery , rendering it useless to recover money.
 
I think once the lien is registered with land titles, or what ever authorities handle property, you may have to wait until the property sells or is refinanced to collect. I think you're entitled to interest as well. A little more incentive for the land owner to pay. If there's a bunch of other liens, you could be out of luck though. There may be other things you can do to collect sooner. Dave
 
In addition to a lien you can haul the person into court and force them under oath to answer questions about anything they own a few things are protected but most everything is fair game.Also getting the judgement on their credit report does wonders sometimes as they can't borrow $$ with an unpaid judgement most of the time and many employers check credit histories.
If they work a job their wages can be garnisheed too
