Getting your acreage report right is essential for your crop insurance to be efficient and problem-free. At Santa Fe Ag, we use mapped acreage books for easy field identification, with the farm tract and field number available. RMA requires acreage reporting by those farm tract field numbers.
There are four things we need to know:
What crop was planted?
What date was the crop planted (including late-planted acres)? Late-planted acres should be reported by how many acres were planted each day during the late-plant period.
How many acres were planted? Your agent needs a record of how many acres fall into each category if any: -all acres planted initially -acres replanted (replanted acres need a notice of loss and approval to replant) -acres prevented from planting -acres planted on new breaking ground -acres uninsurable
-acres planted on added land
4. Crop share
The percentage, and the name of the person or entity you have shares with.
Your crop insurance acreage report and your FSA 578 need to have the same information. If we find conflicting information, we will contact you to get that straightened out.
It's never okay to return a blank signed acreage report. Call your tenant to find out what they planted.
