N.M. Stat. § 56-13-13
Rights of buyer in the ordinary course of business.
A. A buyer in the ordinary course of business, in buying farm products covered by
the central filing system, shall take subject to the security interest identified under such
system, except that a registrant or a buyer in the ordinary course of business making an
inquiry under Section 9 [56-13-9 NMSA 1978] of the Farm Products Secured Interest
Act shall not take subject to the security interest if the central filing system does not
correctly identify the debtor.
B. A buyer in the ordinary course of business buying farm products covered by an
effective financing statement takes free of any security interest on such products if such
buyer secures a waiver or release of the security interest specified in such effective
financing statement from the secured party. If a buyer in the ordinary course of business
buying farm products covered by the central filing system tenders to the seller the total
purchase price by means of a check or other instrument payable to such seller and
each security interest holder of the seller identified in the central filing system for such
products and if such security interest holder authorizes the negotiation of such check or
other instrument, such authorization or endorsement and payment thereof shall
constitute a waiver or release of the security interest specified to the extent of the
amount of the instrument. Such waiver or release of the security interest shall not serve
to establish or alter in any way security interest or lien priorities under law.
