# O.C.G.A. § 9-13-54. When growing crop levied on and sold.

No sheriff or other officer shall levy on any growing crop of corn, wheat, oats, rye, rice, cotton, potatoes, or any other crop usually raised or cultivated by planters or farmers nor sell the same until the crop has matured and is fit to be gathered. However, this Code section shall not prevent any levying officer from levying on and selling crops in cases where the defendant in execution absconds or removes himself from the county or state, or from selling growing crops with the land.
