Removal of fence erected on land of another; safeguarding crops
Sec. 20. If the fence to be removed under section 19 of this
chapter forms any part of a fence enclosing a field of another party
on which there is a crop, the person to whom section 19 of this
chapter applies may not remove the fence in a manner that exposes
the field until the crop:
(1) has been gathered and removed, or secured from injury; or
(2) might, with reasonable diligence, have been gathered and
secured. After the conditions set forth in this section have been
met, the person to whom section 19 of this chapter applies may
immediately remove the fence and materials, whether or not
more than six (6) months have elapsed since the legal property
line was determined.
