Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(a) For a mortgage on property used in agricultural production entered into on or before March 22, 1986, the mortgagee may only proceed to:

(1) obtain a personal judgment for the debt owed on the note secured by the mortgage and execute on the judgment; or

(2) foreclose the mortgage and obtain a deficiency judgment, if allowed.

(b) An action under paragraph (a), either clause (1) or (2), bars an action under the other clause.
