2. Real-property-related financing statements. Except as otherwise provided in section 554.9501, subsection 2, to be sufficient, a financing statement that covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures, must satisfy subsection 1 and also:
a. indicate that it covers this type of collateral;
b. indicate that it is to be filed for record in the real property records;
c. provide a description of the real property to which the collateral is related sufficient to give constructive notice of a mortgage under the law of this state if the description were contained in a record of the mortgage of the real property; and
d. if the debtor does not have an interest of record in the real property, provide the name of a record owner.

b. the goods are or are to become fixtures related to the real property described in the record or the collateral is related to the real property described in the record and is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut;
c. the record satisfies the requirements for a financing statement in this section other than an indication that it is to be filed in the real property records; and
d. the record is duly recorded.
