2023 Annual Implementation Reports (AIRs) Due by March 1, 2024
Nutrient Management Annual Implementation Report (AIR) for CAFO and MAFO Operations documenting nutrient applications for calendar year 2023 are due to the Nutrient Management Program by March 1, 2024.
CAFO no-land poultry operations that export manure are required to include a copy of their manure analysis. Farmers may be able to obtain an analysis from the farmer or broker who received their manure. If this is not available, they will have to submit a manure sample to a laboratory in order to get an analysis to send in with the AIR. The cost of an analysis ranges from $25 to $45 for most laboratories. Providing an email and payment with the sample may shorten the time it takes to receive the analysis. If you need assistance locating a laboratory, instructions on taking a sample and/or sampling supplies, contact your county agriculture agent or county extension office. Some offices may offer manure testing kits.
Farmers have two reporting options:
1. NEW: Farmers who want to submit their 2023 AIRs electronically should visit the Maryland OneStop Portal.
2. Farmers who want to submit paper reports may download either the standard AIR or the CAFO reporting form to their devices before completing.
