Overview
Fertilizer Reporting Solutions is a resource created to help streamline fertilizer tonnage reporting by organizing all the necessary information to comply with reporting requirements in one single place. Fertilizer reporting is not federally regulated and therefore each state has slightly different requirements of what and how companies must report. Providing the information in an accessible and consistent format improves the efficiency and accuracy of reporting for the industry.
If you’re looking to understand how you need to report sales of fertilizer, lime or soil amendments in a state that you do business, we have all that information in one place!
Founding Partners

Fertilizer Reporting Solutions FAQs
Answers to some of the most-asked questions
The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) received feedback from many fertilizer companies that fertilizer, amendment, and liming tonnage reporting, especially in multiple states, can be extremely complicated and nuanced. There were instances where companies expressed, they were likely paying more than they needed to because they did not want to worry about violating tax codes and the varying frequencies, rates, and methods to reporting were overwhelming for the people in charge of it. In an effort to put all state information regarding fertilizer, soil amendment, and liming reporting into one place, this resource was created.
Ahead of each required reporting period, a new licensed company and registered product list is requested from each state that maintains these lists. For example, a state that requires monthly reporting, we request updated lists at the end of the reporting month and upload them within the first couple of days of the following month to ensure users have the most accurate data when reporting for that previous period/month. Additionally, we request that each state review all their reporting requirements annually to ensure accuracy and to capture any changes. The reporting guidelines pages along with the company and product lists, indicate when they were last updated or reviewed to provide users confidence in the displayed information.
Access to Fertilizer Reporting Solutions is available through an annual subscription, which can be used by your entire company. That subscription rate is dependent on your business and your TFI membership.
