Farmers Encouraged to Take Advantage of Electronic Reporting\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ANNAPOLIS, MD (January 15, 2025)<\/strong>– The\u00a0Maryland Department of Agriculture<\/strong>\u00a0is reminding farmers that\u00a0Annual Implementation Reports (AIRs)<\/strong>\u00a0outlining nutrient applications made in calendar year 2024 must be submitted by\u00a0March 1, 2025<\/strong>. Electronic reporting is available through\u00a0Maryland OneStop<\/a>\u00a0for those who want to save time and reduce errors. Farmers new to this electronic reporting option will need to register for an account. Returning farmers should log in to their existing accounts to use the e-file option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Approximately 5,300 Maryland farmers are regulated by the department\u2019s\u00a0Nutrient Management Program<\/strong>\u00a0and are required to follow nutrient management plans when fertilizing crops and managing animal manure as well as submit annual reports summarizing nutrient applications for the previous year.\u00a0Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)<\/strong>\u00a0operating under a permit from the\u00a0Maryland Department of the Environment\u00a0<\/strong>submit one combined Reporting Form and a manure analysis to Maryland\u2019s Nutrient Management Program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Electronic filing is gaining popularity, with 35% of Maryland farmers using Maryland OneStop to file their AIRs last year. Farmers report that it is faster, easier, and more accurate than paper reporting. Users are guided through the application process and receive a delivery confirmation when the report is submitted and status updates as data is verified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A mail-in option remains available this year for farmers who want to continue to submit paper reports. Paper forms were mailed to all regulated farmers in mid-January and are available for download on the department\u2019s\u00a0website<\/a>. For more information, farmers should contact their\u00a0regional nutrient management office<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
