(farmland on which above-ground irrigation system present was transferred; land was subject to two mortgages at time of transfer with one mortgage secured by the real estate and “hereditaments and appurtenances thereto”; irrigation equipment had been acquired for the land, the purchase of which was financed by a bank with collateral for loan listed as “all equipment” which included the irrigation system, a bulldozer and a tractor; bank filed financing statement that incorrectly identified the debtor as “Deepwater Seed Farm” rather than “Deepwater Seed Farms” and search with Secretary of State’s office under debtor’s correct name did not reveal bank’s lien on irrigation equipment; no fixture filing made in real estate records as to irrigation equipment because bank didn’t think irrigation equipment was a fixture; land later sold at foreclosure and buyer had no knowledge of lien on irrigation system; plaintiff, as owner of irrigation equipment brought replevin action; trial court ruled for buyer at foreclosure sale largely because plaintiff present at foreclosure sale, bid on property and made no mention of any claim of ownership to irrigation system; appellate court affirmed on basis that buyer was purchaser for value and irrigation system was not personal property).
