4 Steps to Using Precision Data for Acreage Reporting
When using precision data for acreage reporting, a farmer does not need to use their FSA records for crop insurance. This means you can report to your Weller Insurance agent as soon as you are done planting.
The information that is required for acreage reporting includes:
- acres
- plant dates
- crops planted
This data can all be recorded through precision equipment, and transferred electronically to Weller Insurance.
Here are the steps:
- Record data while planting
- Change setup between fields to indicate field and crop information
- Download data into FMS wirelessly or through a USB
- Send necessary data to agent electronically through the FMH Policyholder Center
