How it works 5 min readBy The Fertilabel Rules Desk

Two states still want paper and a cheque in the post

Ten of the seventeen states we cover have their own portal, each with its own login. Two have none at all. Knowing which is which decides how early you have to start.

The two

Michigan takes its tonnage report on paper by post, or as a spreadsheet by email. There is no portal. And the deadline is defined by postmark: 31 January. Texas still works by mailed forms; the company portal we tried to reach was not accessible.

Why a postmark deadline is different

Every other deadline in this library is satisfied the moment you click submit. A postmark deadline is satisfied when a post office handles the envelope, which means the work has to be finished days earlier, not minutes. Michigan's alert has to fire before everyone else's.

And ten portals for the rest

Kelly Solutions for Georgia, Ohio AgEnterprise, PaPlants for Pennsylvania, AgRSys for North Carolina, USAPlants for Illinois, MyDATCP for Wisconsin, Secure Access Washington, ExtraView for California, AgLicense for Colorado and MyLicense for Oregon. Ten systems, ten accounts, ten password resets.

What we do and do not do about it

We prepare the forms and the numbers so that whichever route a state uses, the work is done before you open the portal or the envelope. We do not log into state portals on your behalf and we do not hold your portal credentials. You remain the registrant of record, and the submission is yours.

One calendar for every state you sell in

Fertilabel tracks these deadlines, prefills the forms and does the fee math. You file, under your own account.
