Acreage Reporting

A few reminders to help you report correctly

• An MPCI policy requires you to report all acreage of crops, both insurable and uninsurable, in which you have a share. This also includes prevented and late-planted acreages. Zero-planted acreage must also be reported.


• Additional acreage or added land must be reported with FSA farm numbers, legal description and crop shares. Please contact your agent immediately (Prior to July 15, 2015) if you have crops planted on land (other than CRP land released past two years) that has not been cropped the last three years. A new break written agreement must be completed and submitted for approval consideration no later than the July 15, 2015 acreage reporting date


• An acreage report must be filed for every policy even if you have no share/acres to report for crops for 2015.
  Providing the date of initial planting for each acreage tract is required. If any acreage was planted after the final plant date, these acres need to be reported separately due to the late plant reduction in guarantee.


• Prevented planting (PP) acreages need to be shown on the report as PP even though you may have already reported as a claim. If you have chosen to file a prevented planting claim, be sure to discuss with your adjuster and agent what your options are for your total crop plan.


• Ownership share should always be double checked for each tract/unit to make sure the preprinted share information is still correct for all tracts/units and you have noted any changes.


• Remember to report to FSA as the same operating entity/individual as the one used for your MPCI crop policy. If not, you will not have coverage.


• All acreage reports need to be completed, signed, dated and returned to your agent prior to or no later than July 15, 2015. The report needs to be signed by the named insured or the authorized person for the policy or entity.


• Always contact your agent if you have questions.


• Always review your schedule of insurance immediately after you receive it. Sometimes corrections can be made or requested if an error is determined.
