All members must complete farm reporting for crop year 2025.

Due Date: February 16, 2026

Note: Parcels that are fallow, crops with no yield or that are non-bearing must also complete the farm reporting.

FARM REPORTING CHECKLIST:         

 

Verify My INFO – Verify that your contact information is accurate and updated as needed. NEW: Text message box is checked, “I agree to receive text messages at these phone numbers.” Uncheck if you do not want texts from us in the future.

 

Verify ACCOUNT – Reporter name, account completion (farm reporting) & account balance.

 

Verify ACCOUNT CONTACT – Billing contact can be changed here.

 

Verify PARCELS – Is the parcel active or not? Please leave detailed notes when changing a parcel’s status. Verify your parcel’s vulnerability for nitrogen risk to groundwater. If your parcel’s status is in a high-vulnerability area (HVA), your INMP –Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Plan worksheet must be certified. See INMP Worksheet.

 

Verify CROPPING, irrigated (or planted) acres & planting year for permanent crops (required for orchards and vineyards) Enter groundwater and surface water use. Please do not leave as “None”

Information on sources of irrigation water is being collected for the Solano Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agency. It will give us a better understanding of groundwater usage vs. surface water and may help landowners by not having duplicate reporting in the future.

Do not enter zero acres. All crops must have farmable acreage, or you can enter Fallow, one of the three options.

•      Fallow-No Water (Due to drought or allocation)

•      Fallow-No Operator (Not farming the land unable to find tenant or tenant left with short notice, etc.)

•      Fallow-In Transition (Orchard replacement, vineyard replacement, rotation of crops such as winter wheat, triticale, and other hays and grasses.

Note: You will need to change any parcel/field currently reported as “Fallow” to one of the new Fallow options shown above.

 

If the land is irrigated anytime within 5 years, the parcel must remain enrolled with the farmable acreage. Enter Fallow-In transition only if not irrigated. The system will keep the irrigated acreage for proper billing and the INMP Summary Report will not be required. This keeps us consistent with the other subwatersheds in the Coalition and is written in the Order that all parcels will pay the fee if irrigated or cultivated within the past five years.

 

Complete INMP SR – Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Plan Summary Report – Management units, reporting & certification [Need pounds of nitrogen applied per/acre including your credits (from soil and water) and crop yield per/acre]

•      “No N” (nitrogen) button = No N was applied to the management unit so the DMT will enter “0” to all the nitrogen input fields.  

•      “N in Liquid/Dry Fertilizer” and “N in Irrigation Water” are required fields. For nitrogen in the water, there are various methods to calculate.

•      For all other N input fields = Any field left as “Value,” the DMT will assume these fields are “0” N inputs.

Commonly missed item reminder:

•      Enter yield basis for tree crops (in-shell, hull, gross etc.)

•      If you enter “no yield” for your crop, please leave a reason in the notes.

•      If your yield is an outlier (very low or very high), please leave a reason in the notes.

“Click Here to Input Answers from Last Year’s INMP” If you have not reported in the past, there will not be any data. “Prior Year Results” If you have not reported in the past, there will not be any data.

 

OUTREACH/TRAINING – Enter one education event “attended.” From in-person workshops to virtual webinars, if the event focuses on water quality, it counts. Alternatively, you can watch the SVWQC video provided or visit our website for additional recorded or upcoming in person events: https://www.dixonrcd.org/workshops-events

 

MPIR – Groundwater Management Practice Implementation Report – Irrigation Wells, Irrigation Uniformity and Crop Fertility. Most of the questions will be familiar as they are the same information from the Farm Evaluation questions (wells and crop fertility plan) If your crop is Pasture-No Nitrogen applied, you do not have to complete this report. It will not show in the DMT for Pasture-No Nitrogen parcels/fields.

 

SECP – Sediment & Erosion Control Plan – If you acknowledged this last year, nothing needs to be done. The DMT has marked this page as COMPLETE. If not, you must read and acknowledge that you understand the requirements. SECP self-certification online training will be available online February 1-28, 2026! If you need this training, do not miss it. To find out if you need to have an SECP for your parcel, visit the PARCELS page in the DMT. The SECP is one and done. Once the plan is written, it does not have be completed again unless the operation changes. For the online SECP training visit: irrigated-lands-regulatory-program.thinkific.com/courses/online-secp-self-certification-training

 

PESTICIDE MANAGEMENT – Surface Water Management Practice Implementation Report (SW MPIR) This section is new to the DMT due to the current management plan caused from exceedances of the water quality objective and is required to be completed by all pyrethroid users.  If you use pyrethroids, complete all of the questions, sign the certification and press the button to complete the report.  If you do not use pyrethroids, answer the first question as “No,” sign the report to certify you do not use pyrethroids and press the completion button. For a list of active ingredients that are “pyrethroids” visit: https://www.dixonrcd.org/bmp-for-pesticides

 

FARM EVALUATION – Farm evaluation report is required every five years.  If you farmed in 2020, the response you entered should be in the DMT and you will have the opportunity to verify and check the button for no changes. Reporter change, account name or crop changes could affect whether the 2020 responses are in the DMT so please be sure to verify previous responses, if applicable.

•      Irrigation and Abandoned Well Information-Verify and/or enter all active irrigation wells or abandoned well(s), if known.

•      Sediment and Erosion Control Practices-Verify and or enter responses.  If the 2020 crop year responses are available and correct, check the “no changes” box.

•      Whole Farm Practices-Verify and/or enter responses.

•      Pesticide Practices-Verify and/or enter responses.

•      Crop Fertility-Who helps you develop your crop fertility plan? Verify and/or enter responses.

•      Off-farm discharge question-Answer YES or NO for 2025.

•      Drinking water wells Information-Read carefully, enter a response for 2025 or verify and/or change responses from 2020.  NOTE: this requirement applies to parcels with enrolled acres only.

 

MAPS AND REPORTS* – This section allows you to print farm maps and review your grower feedback reports. * Note: Grower Nitrogen Feedback Reports for the 2024 Crop Year will be available, within your DMT account, to download by mid-January 2026. If you are required to complete an INMP (which is everyone with the exception of Pasture- No Nitrogen), you must acknowledge that you are aware of your outlier status on the INMP certification page.

Once you have verified that the overall status is COMPLETE, print or download the report for your records.                    

INMP-Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Plan WORKSHEET – Pre-planning tool for 2026 crop year, it is kept on-farm, and the worksheet must be completed annually. (Required for all parcels-exception is Pasture-No Nitrogen) The online version of the worksheet is available to download in the DMT or visit our webpage at: dixonrcd.org/forms-checklists
