Acreage Report Reminder :
Agents: Please review acreage reports for accuracy and completeness before sending them in. The list below has the most commonly missed items. Instruct your insureds to immediately review their
Schedule(s) of Insurance (SOI) for accuracy upon receipt and notify us of any corrections and/or
changes.

Verify all legals and/or FSA FN’s are printed correctly. If a correction needs to be made, please correct and label accordingly.

Both the agent and insured must sign and date the acreage report by the appropriate deadline.

Verify that all acreage planted prior to initial plant date, timely planted, late planted, prevented planting, uninsurable and zero acres are listed.

Verify the insured’s percent of interest and list any shareholder names. Acres should be totaled and entered on the Coverage Summary page.

All acres must be reported by legal location and share (except GRP/GRIP policies).

If a FSA FN is reconstituted resulting in farms being combined or divided, the date the reconstitution took place needs to be written on the acreage report. If the reconstituted date is after the Production Reporting Date, then combining and dividing of the APH will not take place until next year.
