Acreage Reporting

Accurate FSA maps can save you money: Please be sure your FSA maps are accurate! Only mark acres that are physically planted! Your Acreage Reporting is what your premiums are based off, don’t overcharge yourself by incorrect maps.

Use your Precision Planting for Acreage Reports: If you have a GPS module and a subscription, we can take your as planted acres right from there! This makes field boundaries and planted acres more accurate which can reduce premiums!
