What Minnesota Crop Production Retailers Inc does
Mission
Mcpr exists to promote the proper use, storage and application of crop production inputs in an environmentally safe and agronomically sound manner; and to support regulatory and legislative initiatives which benefit retailers, manufacturers, distributors and custom applicators of crop production inputs
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The minnesota crop production retailers association (mcpr) is launching a 4r nutrient stewardship certification program for agricultural retailers. This voluntary, industry-led certification program consists of sciencebased best management practices and nutrient standards that will be audited by trained third-party auditors. The certification program will be governed by an eleven member board called the minnesota nutrient stewardship council (mnsc) and administered by mcpr. This approach provides a science-based framework for plant nutrition, sustained crop production, and reduced risk to the environment, while considering specific indiviual farms' needs. The certification program will provide 4r industry standards for agricutural retailers and transparency with the public of how agriculture is playing a role in improving water quality and protecting water resources. This program and adoption of 4r science-based best practices will: 1. Increase grower profitability by optimizing fertilizer efficiency. 2. Strengthen the relationships between nutrient service providers and grower customers. 3. Achieve higher crop yields. 4. Preserve natural ecosystems by growing more on less land.…
Provided information and news through electronic mail, postal mail, and our web site on matters important to the agricultural inputs industry in minnesota including cost effect and efficient handing, storage, and application of ag crop inputs to the landscape. Provided training and evaluation of practices to improve the industry environmental impact and represent mcpr members in the administrative and legislative branches of state government. Promoted mcpr members through interviews with the media and press and public testimony of government policy bodies.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $530k to $640k (+21%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 20% · 2019 21% · 2020 16% · 2021 68% · 2022 6% · 2023 2% · 2024 6% · 2025 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
