A Minnesota farmer named Ingrid has her agricultural property foreclosed upon through a non-judicial Chapter 580 proceeding. The foreclosure sale is completed on June 15. Under Minnesota law, what is the length of Ingrid's statutory redemption period?

Correct Answer

C) 12 months, because the property is agricultural land

Under Minn. Stat. § 580.23, agricultural property is one of the specific circumstances that qualifies for an extended 12-month statutory redemption period following a non-judicial foreclosure sale. Because Ingrid's property is agricultural land, she has 12 months from the June 15 sale date — until June 15 of the following year — to redeem the property.

Answer Options
A
3 months, because agricultural foreclosures have a shortened redemption period
B
6 months, because all Minnesota non-judicial foreclosures use the standard period
C
12 months, because the property is agricultural land
D
18 months, because agricultural properties receive an extended federal protection period
