(a), in the order in which those obligations were incurred; and (c) Third, to all unsecured obligations of the debtor making the payment, in the order in which those obligations were incurred. (3) A production-money security interest does not lose its status as such, even if: (a) The production-money crops also secure an obligation that is not a production-money obligation; (b) Collateral that is not production-money crops also secures the production-money obligation; or (c) The production-money obligation has been renewed, refinanced, or restructured.
