You can still submit them to the Rice Commission!
The Rice Commission’s web portal for the online submission of the Farm Evaluation and Nitrogen Management Plan (FE/NMP) is still open at CalRiceNews.org by clicking here.
If you have not yet completed them, please do so as soon as possible. It should take on average less than 30 minutes to complete. The Rice Commission has recently completed outreach to individual growers with incomplete or missing submissions. Each plan will be submitted using the grower’s unique identification number from their permit at the County Agricultural Commissioner’s office.
The summary of the FE/NMP data is a critical piece of the Water Board’s evaluation for compliance with the Rice Waste Discharge Order (WDR). In addition, if the Water Board were to conduct an inspection of the farm, they could issue a fine if a copy of grower’s FE/NMP is not available.
For more information, contact the CRC’s Industry Affairs Manager Craig Riddle at criddle@calrice.org or (916) 812-3468.
