Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 77 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... we assume that the security agreements were drafted with an awareness of the importance of the various forms of federal subsidy payments to the realities of financing a farming operation based upon sugar beets, and that an interested third party could also be expected to know that the crops described were sugar beets and entitled to various conditional subsidy payments under the Sugar Act of 1948.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Abandonment payments, like the subsidy payments based on sugar content, are an integral part of the sugar-beet farming business and, when received, are within a broad reading of "proceeds." Not to include such payments within the term "proceeds" would be to raise distinctions of form over the realities underlying this financing transaction, a result contrary to the intent of the Uniform Commercial Code. See Uniform Commercial Code § 9-110; C.C.C. § 9110; Biggins v. Southwest Bank, 490 F.2d [1304,] 1308 [(9th Cir. 1973)].”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The test of the sufficiency of the description is whether it would indicate to an interested third party the possible existence of prior encumbrances on the collateral.”
