A levy may be made upon a growing crop, but not until November 15 after such crop is matured, and then only subject to the landlord's lien, if any. If, however, the owner of the crop absconds, conceals their whereabouts, or leaves the country, an attachment or execution may be levied on a standing crop at any time.
