PML/CS Subscription

The Idaho Secretary of State's office maintains the Idaho Central Filing System, which has been certified by the USDA. When Farm Products Financing Statements (UCC-1F) are filed and recorded by our office, they become part of the Idaho Central Filing System.

One of the requirements for "Central Filing" certification by the USDA is that we maintain a "Master List" (ML) of all Farm Products Financing Statements that are filed with our office. The master list is divided into sections by category of farm product. Those sections are known as "Portions of the Master List" (PML). Each farm product category is given a "PML number" and each PML is organized alphabetically by debtor name. Each debtor entry on the PML includes all of that debtor's information, all of the secured party (lien holder) information, and all collateral information, including collateral type, location, crop years and amounts.

A complete master list is published and distributed every two weeks as noted on the PML Publication Schedule. A supplement file is also published that documents all master list changes over the previous two week period. The supplement file is not necessary to be aware of all lien information, however it does provide additional information for subscribers who require more detail. Both the master list and the supplemental information are published in three formats - PDF, HTML and.csv (comma delimited).

This master list is beneficial to buyers, commission merchants and selling agents as it provides a method to which they can be aware of persons or business entities which hold a security interest in a particular agricultural product.

Any person or business entity who wishes to receive master list information must register with the Secretary of State's office. The fee for this registration is $30.00. The registrant may then subscribe to the PML files they wish to receive. (See the PML Fee Schedule listed at right.)

“Seed and Labor” List

The “Seed and Labor” List consists of all current “Liens in Crops for Seed” and “Liens in Crops for Farm Labor”, as well as agricultural liens filed by the Idaho State Tax Commission. The list is published every two weeks and includes all debtor, secured party and collateral information.

The “Seed and Labor” List may be subscribed to as part of a PML registration. To subscribe to receive the “Seed and Labor” List information use PML Number 30 in the PML Number box on the registration form. This subscription costs $90.00 annually.

All files distributed by email are expected to be mailed out between 8:00am and 9:00am each day. During any time interval that no files are processed, an email notice will be provided indicating that there are no new files.

The annual subscription fee is $120.00.
Each distribution is $8.00.

Payment will be required at the time of each delivery and can be charged to an on-file credit card or to a prepaid account with the Secretary of State's office.
