Our acreage services
Our acreage reporting services are up to 14% more accurate than manual data collection
These services are also designed to save up to 83% of the manual effort involved in collecting acreage reports.
Each year the USDA requires every producer of corn, soybean, cotton, and spring wheat to submit an Acreage Report before July 15th. Acreage reporting is an important form of record keeping for producers, documenting all acres of crops planted, and their intended uses. Errors in acreage reporting can lead to the creation of inaccurate premiums that have the potential to cause denial or refusal of claims therefore it is crucial to ensure that premiums are accurate to avoid costly errors.
