Maryland: Department Extends Deadline for Farmers to File Annual Implementation Reports (AIRs)

ANNAPOLIS, MD (February 4, 2026) ~ The Maryland Department of Agriculture has announced an extension for farmers to submit their Annual Implementation Reports (AIRs) for 2025 nutrient applications. The new deadline, April 1, 2026, applies to both farmers and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).

This decision was made in response to unforeseen printing issues that have delayed the mailing of personalized paper reporting forms for several regions in the state. The department acknowledges the inconvenience this may cause and has extended the deadline by one month to accommodate the delayed delivery.
