This bulletin presents the results of the analysis of 2,691 official samples of commercial fertilizer taken during the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 by the field inspection staff. The samples represented approximately 61,000 tons of fertilizer out of the approximately 1,058,000 tons sold during this period.
