I don't think producers that aren't nonprofit or corporate have the May 1 deadline. The reason is sole proprietors and partners don't register with the secretary of state as only nonprofits and corporations do that. The stae deparment of licensing registers trade or dba names for sole props and partners. The legislation sofar only says register with sec of state and not the state. But the other points of letter to deparment of ag and local government apply but not under the deadline.
