Steps to Complete Your 2025 Annual Update:

  1. Review documents in your PCO certification portal.
    • 2025 Annual Update Report (current information on file with PCO)
    • OLPS OSP Update Instructions (if applicable to your operation)
    • PCO Policy Update letter
  2. Complete the online Annual Update Form below by March 1st.
    • Upload additional documents below as needed.
      • Required for livestock producers and handlers:
        • PCO has updated several OSP sections due to OLPS. Forms and instructions are available in your portal if applicable to your operation.
      • If reporting changes to your OSP:
        • Materials Used Form: if reporting new inputs.
        • Field & Crops Form: if reporting new fields.
        • Herd List: if reporting herd additions or removals.
        • Other blank forms are available on our website.
    • Reminder: You do not need to finalize all changes for 2025, including crop plans for each field, by March 1 with your Annual Update. Simply submit updates to PCO as they occur throughout the year. As a reminder, only products listed on your certificate can be marketed or sold as organic, and updates to your certificate will only be made after PCO reviews your submitted changes.
    • You will receive a confirmation email after submission.
