GENERAL requirements

General Requirements The acreage report is the document used to determine the liability or amount of insurance, the premium, and the insurable share at the time insurance attaches. General Standards Handbook – Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 1 General Requirements 1201 General Information The acreage report is used to determine the liability or amount of insurance provided, premium, and establishes the insurable share at the time insurance attaches. Not all policies require an acreage report to determine liability or amount of insurance and in some instances, an acreage report is used to report units of measure other than acreage (e.g., for peanut revenue number of pounds is reported). Most crops require an acreage report except for Nursery, Aquaculture and WFRP which establish coverage on a different basis, see applicable crop program handbooks for more information.

General Requirements Filing Requirements
The insured, or authorized representative for the insured, must sign and submit an annual acreage report for the insured crop policy. Acreage reports must be submitted on or before the crop’s ARD contained in the actuarial documents. General Standards Handbook – Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 1 General Requirements 1202 Annual Acreage Report Filing Requirements The insured, or authorized representative for the insured, must sign and submit an annual acreage report for those policies which require an acreage report. If the insured fails to submit a signed acreage report or to report all units, when units are applicable, the AIP may: deny liability by unit, when units are applicable. Any acreage not reported by the insured and the AIP denies liability must be documented as unreported acreage; or determine the insurable acreage, share, practice, type, etc., by unit when units are applicable. However, a unit can only be accepted by the AIP if it is determined from a crop inspection that the unit acreage meets the criteria for accepting unreported acreage as specified in the LAM. If the AIP declares the crop "insured” the applicable premium and administrative fee are considered earned and payable. For additional coverage policies, the AIP is entitled to any premium due. For CAT coverage policies, RMA is entitled to the imputed premium credit. For CCIP policies, if an unsigned acreage report is submitted, the AIP may send a letter to the insured advising that the reported information will be binding if the insured does not provide revised information within a specified amount of time.

General Requirements Filing Requirements
Separate lines are required for the following entries: EUs, BUs and OUs, and within each unit; WUs, for each crop and for each crop with differing P/T/TMAs, shares, APH yields, and risk classifications; Timely planted acres; LP acres; Planted acres of the first insured crop for which 100% of the premium is due and a separate line of first insured crop acreage for which 65% reduction of the premium is applicable; Eligible PP acres that are eligible for 100 percent of the PP payment; Uninsurable acreage of an insurable crop; Uninsured acreage of an insured crop; Unreported acreage; and Unreported units. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 1 General Requirements 1202 Filing Requirements Separate line entries are required on the acreage report for the following: EUs, BUs and OUs, and within each unit, separate line entries for differing P/T/TMAs, shares, approved APH yields, and risk classifications, when units are applicable. When units are not applicable, separate line entries are required for differing P/Ts and shares; For WUs, a separate line for each crop and for each crop with differing P/T/TMAs, shares, APH yields, and risk classifications; Timely planted acres (full production guarantee); LP acres, with a separate line entry for each day of planting during the LP period (with a reduced production guarantee based upon the number of days planted late), or a separate line entry for acres of a crop prevented from planting after the LP period or a separate line entry after the FPD for crops that do not have a LP period; Planted acres of the first insured crop for which 100 percent of the premium is due and a separate line of first insured crop acreage for which 65 percent reduction of the premium is applicable; Eligible PP acres that are eligible for 100 percent of the PP payment; and for which 100 percent of the premium is due will be a separate line from eligible PP acres that will have a 65 percent reduction of the PP payment and which will result in a 65 percent reduction in premium; Uninsurable acreage, designated as specified in Para. 1217; Uninsured acreage of an insured crop, designated as specified in Para. 1218; Unreported acreage (within the same unit) is insurable acreage not reported timely and that did not meet the criteria for the AIP to accept the liability for such acreage and designated as such as specified in Para. 1219B; and Unreported units are units which were not reported timely, or did not meet the criteria for the AIP to accept the unit acreage designated as such, as specified in Para. 1219A.

General Requirements Failure to Submit Acceptable Acreage Report
If insured fails to submit an acceptable report the AIP may: Deny liability by unit, when units are applicable. Acreage not reported by the insured and the AIP denies liability must be documented as unreported acreage; or Determine the insurable acreage, share, practice, type, etc., by unit when units are applicable. For CCIP policies, if an unsigned acreage report is submitted, but all other requirements are met, the AIP may send a letter to the insured advising that the reported information will be binding if the insured does not provide revised information within a specified amount of time. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 1 General Requirements 1203 Failure to Submit Acceptable Acreage Report If the insured fails to submit an acceptable acreage report or to report all units, when units are applicable, the AIP may: deny liability, by unit when units are applicable. Any acreage not reported by the insured and the AIP denies liability must be documented as unreported acreage; or determine the insurable acreage, share, P/T, etc., and by unit when units are applicable or to deny liability. If the AIP denies liability for the unreported acreage, no premium will be due on such acreage and no indemnity will be paid. Acreage can only be accepted by the AIP if it is determined from a crop inspection that the acreage meets the criteria for accepting unreported acreage as specified in Para If the AIP declares the crop "insured” the applicable premium and administrative fee are considered earned and payable. For additional coverage policies, the AIP is entitled to any premium due. For CAT coverage policies, RMA is entitled to the imputed premium credit. See Para for reporting requirements for unreported acreage or units. For CCIP policies, if an unsigned acreage report is submitted, but all other requirements are met, the AIP may send a letter to the insured advising that the reported information will be binding if the insured does not provide revised information within a specified amount of time. If the insured responds with any changes to the reported information, the AIP must document that response in the insured’s file folder. In this situation and for loss purposes, this acreage report may be considered to be a signed acreage report.

General Requirements Inaccurate Acreage Reports
Inaccurate information reported on the acreage report can result in over- and under-reported liability or unreported units that may adversely affect the liability and/or any potential indemnity. If the insured's share is different at the time of indemnity compared to the time insurance attached, the insured share will be the lesser of: Share at the time insurance attached; or Share determined by the AIP at the earlier of the time of loss or the beginning of harvest of the unit or part of the unit, unless excepted by the specific CP. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 1 General Requirements 1204 Inaccurate Acreage Reports Insureds must provide all required reports and are responsible for the accuracy of all information contained in those reports. The AIP will determine all premiums and indemnities based on the information submitted on the acreage report or upon the factual circumstances determined to have existed. Inaccurate information reported on the acreage report can result in over- and under-reported liability. If information on the acreage report is different than what is determined to be correct and the information reported on the acreage report results in: a lower liability than the actual, correct liability determined, the production guarantee (policy protection for ARPI policies) will be reduced to an amount consistent with the information reported on the acreage report; or a higher liability than the actual, correct liability determined, the information contained in the acreage report will be revised to be consistent with the correct information. If the share is misreported and the share is: under-reported at the time of the acreage report, any claim will be determined using the share reported on the acreage report; or over-reported at the time of the acreage report, any claim will be determined using the share determined to be correct. If an AIP discovers that an insured has incorrectly reported any information on the acreage report for any crop year, the insured may be required to provide documentation in subsequent crop years substantiating the acreage report including, but not limited to, an acreage measurement service at their own expense. If the correction of any misreported information would affect an indemnity that was paid in a prior crop year, such claim will be adjusted, and the insured will be required to repay any overpaid amounts.

Prevented Planting Acreage See FCIC Prevented Planting Loss Adjustment Standards Handbook to determine the number of PP acres and for PP acreage reporting requirements for CCIP policies. ARPI is not applicable PREVENT PLANTING STANDARDS HANDBOOK PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 51 Reporting PP Acreage The acreage report is the primary tool for establishing the liability for all timely planted, LP and PP acres. A. Insured’s Responsibilities The insured is responsible for: On or before the acreage reporting date, reporting all timely planted, LP, and PP acreage along with any information required to complete an accurate initial acreage report. Filing a Notice of Loss on or prior to the acreage reporting date, even if the number of PP acres are reported on the Notice of Loss, is not considered as reporting PP acres for the acreage report (also see paragraph 52 below for acreage reporting dates). Likewise, the acres on an applicable submitted Intended Acreage Report is not considered as reporting PP acres for the acreage report. Reporting the correct unit number in which the PP acres (fields) of the insured crop are physically located. The correctly reported acreage may be revised by the AIP when remaining eligible acres from another unit or crop must be used to make the PP payment as stated in paragraph 26C(8)(e). Reporting any change in status of any PP acreage, including but not limited to the following changes: The insured certified a second crop would not be planted but it was subsequently planted (by the insured or any other person; e.g., by person to whom the insured (or landlord, if insured is the tenant rather than owner of the acreage) cash rented the acreage); The insured initially stated a second crop would be planted, but it was never planted on the PP acreage. The AIP verifies this to be true; The insured initially certified that the volunteer crop or cover crop would not be hayed or grazed, but the insured subsequently hayed or grazed the crop after the LPP (FPD if no LPP is applicable) for the PP crop but prior to November 1; or A volunteer or cover crop is harvested for other than haying or grazing at any time after the LPP (FPD if no LPP is applicable) for the PP crop (even after November 1). The PP payment for the first insured crop (PP) acreage is reduced to 35 percent of the PP payment if the cover crop WAS NOT planted within or prior to the LPP for the crop claimed as PP. If the cover crop was planted within or prior to the end of the LPP for the crop claimed as PP, no PP payment is allowed.

Identifying PP Acreage on the Acreage Report
Prevented Planting acreage Identifying PP Acreage on the Acreage Report PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING E. Identifying PP Acreage on the Acreage Report Multiple cropping codes shown on acreage reports or a Summary of Coverage are as follows: No Code = 100 percent premium for PP acreage. PR = A premium reduction (65 percent) for first insured crop (PP) when the PP payment is also reduced 65 percent. RP = Revised acreage report to restore the premium to 100 percent.

PP Codes PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING E. Identifying PP Acreage on the Acreage Report – PP Codes

Acreage Reporting Date Acreage is planted by the FPD, the acreage report is due by the published ARD for the crop shown in the SP. The insured multiple crops with the same AIP with FPD’s on or after: August 15 but before December 31 – ARD will be the latest of applicable ARD for such crops. December 31 but before August 15 – ARD will be the latest of applicable ARD for such crops. LP, PP or a combination of timely planted acreage, acreage report is due the later of: Date for the crop shown in the SP, Multiple crops – latest reporting date for such crops, or Five days after the end of the LPP. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 52. Acreage Reporting Date If all insurable acreage is planted by the FPD, the acreage report is due by the published acreage reporting date for the crop shown in the SP, unless the insured insures multiple crops. If the insured insures multiple crops with the same AIP with FPDs on or after: August 15 but before December 31, the acreage reporting date for all such crops will be the latest applicable acreage reporting date for such crops with these FPDs. December 31 but before August 15, the acreage reporting dates for all such crops will be the latest applicable acreage reporting date for these crops with these FPDs. For LP, PP, or a combination of timely planted, LP, or PP acreage, the acreage report is due the later of: the date for the crop shown in the SP, or if multiple crops are insured with the same AIP, the latest applicable reporting date for such crops (FPDs of August 15 but before December 31, and December 31 but before August 15) are considered two separate reporting dates), or 5 days after the end of the LPP (no LPP for ELS cotton or wheat and barley under the terms of the Winter Coverage Endorsement.) Filing acreage reports for LP or PP acreage does not extend the policy-stated acreage reporting period nor the 10-week requirement for acreage data transmission for full commission reimbursement.

Intended Acreage Report When, in the four most recent CYs, an insured did not plant any crop in the county for which pp insurance was available or has not received a pp insurance guarantee, the insured must do the following: Complete and submit an intended acreage report to the AIP for the purpose of establishing the potential maximum number of eligible PP acres. For the purpose of determining the maximum eligible number of PP acres, the total number of acres reported on the intended acreage report cannot exceed the number of acres of cropland available for planting in the insured’s farming operation at the time the report is submitted. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 54. Intended Acreage Report WHEN, IN THE FOUR MOST RECENT CYS, AN INSURED DID NOT PLANT ANY CROP IN THE COUNTY FOR WHICH PP INSURANCE WAS AVAILABLE OR HAS NOT RECEIVED A PP INSURANCE GUARANTEE, the insured must do the following: Complete and submit an intended acreage report to the AIP for the purpose of establishing the potential maximum number of eligible PP acres: On or prior to the SCD, unless the following situation applies: If both fall-seeded and spring-seeded crops are insured on the policy and there have been no planted or reported PP fall-seeded acres, this report may be submitted by the next subsequent crop(s) SCD); or Within 10 days of the time the insured acquired the acreage if on the SCD, the insured did not have any acreage in a county and subsequently acquires acreage, by a method described in paragraph 26C(1) or (2), in time to plant the insured crop using a good farming practice. For the purpose of determining the maximum eligible number of PP acres, the total number of acres reported on the intended acreage report cannot exceed the number of acres of cropland available for planting in the insured’s farming operation at the time the report is submitted. To conform with this policy provision, if the total acres submitted on the intended acreage report exceeds the number of cropland acres in the insured’s farming operation, the AIP must reduce any over-reported acres on a pro-rata basis, as shown below, so the total acres do not exceed the actual acres available for planting at the time the report was submitted. Steps for prorating total acres and example when the acres on the intended acreage report exceed the cropland acres at the time the intended acreage report is submitted:

Intended Acreage Report For the purpose of determining the maximum eligible number of PP acres, the total number of acres reported on the intended acreage report cannot exceed the number of acres of cropland available for planting in the insured’s farming operation at the time the report is submitted. To conform with this policy provision, if the total acres submitted on the intended acreage report exceeds the number of cropland acres in the insured’s farming operation, the AIP must reduce any over-reported acres on a pro-rata basis, as shown below, so the total acres do not exceed the actual acres available for planting at the time the report was submitted. Steps for prorating total acres and example when the acres on the intended acreage report exceed the cropland acres at the time the intended acreage report is submitted:

Intended Acreage Report If additional acreage is acquired after acceptance fo the acreage report: The number of acres may be increased by multiplying the acres by the ratio of the total cropland acres that the insured is farming in the current CY to the number of acres listed on the intended acreage report, provided: Insured submits proof to the AIP that for the current CY; and No cause of loss has occurred. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 54. Intended Acreage Report If the insured acquires additional acreage after the AIP accepts the intended acreage report: The number of acres on the intended acreage report (or adjusted intended acreage report if (2) above applies) may be increased by multiplying the acres by the ratio of the total cropland acres that the insured is farming in the current CY (if greater) to the number of acres listed on the intended acreage report, provided: the insured submits proof to the AIP that for the current CY, the insured acquired the acreage by a method described in paragraph 26C in time to plant using a good farming practice; and no cause of loss has occurred at the time the insured acquired the acreage that may prevent planting. Example: There were 700 acres on the intended acreage report submitted on the SCD, and 200 acres were subsequently added to the insured’s farming operation. Insured notifies the AIP within 10 days after acquiring acreage and provides proof of the method he/she acquired the cropland. It is determined it was acquired in time to plant using good farming practices. Current cropland acres divided by acres on intended acreage report (900/700 = 1.286, rounded to 3-places) Multiply the factor (1.286) by the acres of each crop on the intended acreage report to increase the acres of each crop proportionately.

(900/700 = 1.286, rounded to 3-places)
Prevented Planting acreage Intended Acreage Report Example: There were 700 acres on the intended acreage report submitted on the SCD, and 200 acres were subsequently added to the insured’s farming operation. Insured notifies the AIP within 10 days after acquiring acreage and provides proof of the method he/she acquired the cropland. Current cropland acres divided by acres on intended acreage report (900/700 = 1.286, rounded to 3-places) Multiply the factor (1.286) by the acres of each crop on the intended acreage report to increase the acres of each crop proportionately. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 54. Intended Acreage Report If the insured acquires additional acreage after the AIP accepts the intended acreage report: The number of acres on the intended acreage report (or adjusted intended acreage report if (2) above applies) may be increased by multiplying the acres by the ratio of the total cropland acres that the insured is farming in the current CY (if greater) to the number of acres listed on the intended acreage report, provided: the insured submits proof to the AIP that for the current CY, the insured acquired the acreage by a method described in paragraph 26C in time to plant using a good farming practice; and no cause of loss has occurred at the time the insured acquired the acreage that may prevent planting. Example: There were 700 acres on the intended acreage report submitted on the SCD, and 200 acres were subsequently added to the insured’s farming operation.

It is determined it was acquired in time to plant using good farming practices. Current cropland acres divided by acres on intended acreage report (900/700 = 1.286, rounded to 3-places) Multiply the factor (1.286) by the acres of each crop on the intended acreage report to increase the acres of each crop proportionately.

Intended Acreage Report When it is found that the insured had previously planted a crop for the same CY and the insured had submitted an intended acreage report for spring planted crops, the insured’s cropland acres must be adjusted for the planted acres before the calculation for pro-rating acres. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 54. Intended Acreage Report When it is found that the insured had previously planted a crop for the same CY (e.g., winter wheat) and the insured had submitted an intended acreage report for spring planted crops, the insured’s cropland acres must be adjusted for the planted acres before the calculation for pro-rating acres as indicated in (2) or (3) above. Example: The insured qualifies for an intended acreage report for the county. There are 1,000 cropland acres and 300 acres of winter wheat planted. The Intended Acreage Report submitted prior to the SCD for the spring crops shows 500 acres of corn and 500 acres of soybeans. The 1,000 acres of cropland acres must be reduced to 700 acres (1,000 cropland acres minus 300 acres of planted winter wheat) for the purpose of establishing the number of corn and soybeans acres on the intended acreage report. Use the rules in (2)(b) above to reduce the acres, which would result in 350 acres of corn and 350 acres of soybeans.

(1,000 cropland acres – 300 acres of planted winter wheat)
Prevented Planting acreage Intended Acreage Report Example: The insured qualifies for an intended acreage report for the county. There are 1,000 cropland acres and 300 acres of winter wheat planted. The Intended Acreage Report submitted prior to the SCD for the spring crops shows 500 acres of corn and 500 acres of soybeans. The 1,000 acres of cropland acres must be reduced to 700 acres (1,000 cropland acres – 300 acres of planted winter wheat) For the purpose of establishing the number of corn and soybeans acres on the intended acreage report. Use the rules in PP Handbook Para. 54(2)(b) to reduce the acres, which would result in 350 acres of corn and 350 acres of soybeans. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 54. Intended Acreage Report When it is found that the insured had previously planted a crop for the same CY (e.g., winter wheat) and the insured had submitted an intended acreage report for spring planted crops, the insured’s cropland acres must be adjusted for the planted acres before the calculation for pro-rating acres as indicated in (2) or (3) above.

Use the rules in (2)(b) above to reduce the acres, which would result in 350 acres of corn and 350 acres of soybeans.

Intended Acreage Report Once eligible PP acres are established by the AIP-accepted intended acreage report, by crop, the intended acreage report cannot be revised unless: The acres on the intended acreage report exceed cropland acres. Example: The intended acreage report indicates 1,000 acres of corn. The intended acreage report cannot be revised to show 500 corn acres and 500 soybean acres. The eligible PP acres must remain as 1,000 corn acres and this is the only crop on which the insured can claim PP. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 54. Intended Acreage Report Revision of eligible PP acres established by the AIP-accepted intended acreage report. Once eligible PP acres are established by the AIP-accepted intended acreage report, by crop, as stated in (2)-(4) above, the intended acreage report cannot be altered (revised), unless the reasons in (b) apply. Example: Situation when the intended acreage report cannot be revised. The intended acreage report indicates 1,000 acres of corn. The intended acreage report cannot be revised to show 500 corn acres and 500 soybean acres. The eligible PP acres must remain as 1,000 corn acres and this is the only crop on which the insured can claim PP. Also, see example in paragraph 56C below (revised acreage report examples). Previously AIP-accepted (processed) intended acreage reports must be revised when the acres on the intended acreage report exceed cropland acres. See the steps and example in (2)(b) above. Use the same steps to reduce the acres to the number of cropland acres.

Misreported PP Information If no PP acreage is reported on the acreage report by the ARD, no revisions can be made to the acreage report to add PP acreage. Filing a Notice of Loss on or prior to the acreage reporting date, even if the number of PP acres is reported on the Notice of Loss, is not considered as reporting PP acres for the acreage report. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 55. Misreported PP Information on the Acreage Report or Failure to Report Any PP acreage for A Crop on the Acreage Report (Continued) Refer to paragraph 56 for information about revising the PP information on an acreage report. If no PP acreage is reported on the acreage report by the acreage reporting date, no revisions can be made to the acreage report to add PP acreage. Refer to paragraph 56A below. Filing a Notice of Loss on or prior to the acreage reporting date, even if the number of PP acres is reported on the Notice of Loss, is not considered as reporting PP acres for the acreage report. The insured must still report these acres on the required acreage report form by the acreage reporting date.

Revisions to Acreage Reports - Insureds On or before the ARD: Any information on the report can be revised except specified below. After the ARD: PP acres can not be added. PP acreage information can be revised if error was made by AIP, agent, or USDA. Insured can not revise the insured’s initially submitted acreage report at any time to change the insured crop or type that was report on the acreage report unless an error was made by the AIP, agent, or USDA. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 56. Revised Acreage Reports A. When Insureds Can and Cannot Revise PP Acreage Report Information ON OR BEFORE THE ACREAGE REPORTING DATE – The insured can change any information on any initially submitted acreage report, except as provided in (3) below without the AIPs consent. For example, the insured can add acreage of the insured crop, or correct a share. AFTER THE ACREAGE REPORTING DATE - PP acres for a crop that were not reported by the acreage reporting date cannot be added after the acreage reporting date. This would apply if the insured reported “0” acres or if the insured reported the incorrect acres. However, with the AIP's approval, PP acreage information can be revised by the AIP after the acreage reporting date if the insured can provide adequate evidence that the AIP, agent or someone from the USDA committed an error regarding the acreage information the insured reported. Refer to the LAM for correctable errors. The insured CANNOT revise the insured’s initially submitted acreage report AT ANY TIME (and the AIP cannot approve) to change the insured crop or type that was reported as prevented from planting on the acreage report, unless the insured can provide adequate evidence that the insured did report the correct crop or type, but the AIP, agent, or someone from the USDA committed an error regarding the crop or type shown on the processed acreage report.

Revisions to Acreage Reports - AIP Following Situations: Acres are not eligible for PP payment for the following reasons: The reported PP acres on the acreage report exceed the number of acres for the crop, crop type, or variety on the intended acreage report and the insured does not qualify for increasing the intended acres. There were PP acres on the insured’s acreage report for a crop that requires the insured to submit an intended acreage report by the specific deadline and: They fail to turn in the report or submit it by the deadline. Number of acres exceeds cropland acres. A cause of loss has occurred that may prevent planting before the acreage was acquired. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 56. Revised Acreage Reports B. When the AIP Must Revise the PP Acreage Report The AIP must process revised acreage reports for PP acres in the following situations: The acres are not eligible for PP payment for the following reasons: The reported PP acres on the acreage report exceed the number of acres for the crop, crop type, or variety on the intended acreage report (when intended acreage report is applicable to establish the maximum eligible PP acres) and the insured does not qualify for increasing the intended acres as specified in subparagraph C, the acreage report must be revised to reduce the acres to those established on the intended acreage report for the crop; There were PP acres on the insured’s acreage report for a crop that requires the insured to submit an intended acreage report by the specific deadline (refer to subparagraph C to establish the maximum eligible PP acres) and: The insured failed to turn in the required intended acreage report or failed to submit it by the deadline set forth in subparagraph C; The total number of acres on the intended acreage report exceeds the cropland acres in the insured’s farming operation; A cause of loss occurred that may prevent planting before the acreage was acquired; The acreage is not insurable; The insured was not prevented from planting due to an insured cause; or Any other reason that the reported PP acres are not eligible for a PP payment. Refer to subparagraph C below for additional reasons acreage would not be eligible for PP payment. These situations may have occurred because the acreage was reported incorrectly (i.e., it never qualified) or because the insured’s action disqualified the acreage reported as PP. If the adjuster discovers during the loss adjustment inspection that the acreage report has not been revised when the situation requires that it be revised, the adjuster must provide the AIP with the information needed for the revision.

Revised Acreage Reports - AIP must revise Following Situations: Acreage is not insurable; Insured was not prevented from planting due to an insurable cause of loss; or Any other reason that the reported PP acres are not eligible for a PP payment. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 56. Revised Acreage Reports B. When the AIP Must Revise the PP Acreage Report The AIP must process revised acreage reports for PP acres in the following situations: The acres are not eligible for PP payment for the following reasons: The reported PP acres on the acreage report exceed the number of acres for the crop, crop type, or variety on the intended acreage report (when intended acreage report is applicable to establish the maximum eligible PP acres) and the insured does not qualify for increasing the intended acres as specified in subparagraph C, the acreage report must be revised to reduce the acres to those established on the intended acreage report for the crop; There were PP acres on the insured’s acreage report for a crop that requires the insured to submit an intended acreage report by the specific deadline (refer to subparagraph C to establish the maximum eligible PP acres) and: The insured failed to turn in the required intended acreage report or failed to submit it by the deadline set forth in subparagraph C; The total number of acres on the intended acreage report exceeds the cropland acres in the insured’s farming operation; A cause of loss occurred that may prevent planting before the acreage was acquired; The acreage is not insurable; The insured was not prevented from planting due to an insured cause; or Any other reason that the reported PP acres are not eligible for a PP payment. Refer to subparagraph C below for additional reasons acreage would not be eligible for PP payment. These situations may have occurred because the acreage was reported incorrectly (i.e., it never qualified) or because the insured’s action disqualified the acreage reported as PP. If the adjuster discovers during the loss adjustment inspection that the acreage report has not been revised when the situation requires that it be revised, the adjuster must provide the AIP with the information needed for the revision.

Revision to Acreage Reports - AIP All the PP acres reported for the unit are found to be ineligible for PP coverage. Revisions to raise liability at loss time are not permitted. PART 5 ACREAGE REPORTING 56. Revised Acreage Reports B. When the AIP Must Revise the PP Acreage Report The AIP must process revised acreage reports for PP acres in the following situations: All the PP acres reported for the unit are found to be ineligible for PP coverage. However, if there is a combination of planted and PP acres, revised acreage reports to delete ineligible PP acres do not have to be made by the adjuster/AIP at the time the PP claim is worked, unless the AIP’s claim processing system will not automatically: Refund excess premium, and Reduce the liability to the “determined liability” for over-reported PP acres. Example: The liability calculated from the acreage report for the unit is $180 ($100 for LP acreage and $80 for PP acreage). However, the “determined acres” liability is $150 ($100 for LP and $50 for PP acreage). Premium would be refunded for the over- reported PP acres. Revisions to raise liability at loss time are not permitted except as noted in the examples below and as stated in the LAM.

Late planted acreage Overview
Insurable under CCPI but not under ARPI policies. Requirements for insuring acreage of an insured crop planted after the crop’s final planting date is located in CCPI. CP may limit the LPP and/or change the percentage of coverage. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1215 Late Planted Acreage The CCIP contains the requirements for insuring acreage of an insured crop planted after the crop’s final planting date. The applicable CP (including the applicable SP) may limit the late planting period and/or change the percentage that coverage is reduced per day from those specified in the CCIP. Late planted acreage is not insurable under an ARPI policy. A. Production Guarantee or Amount of Insurance Reductions for CCIP Policies For each late planted acre of the insured crop, the production guarantee or amount of insurance that is applicable to timely planted acreage will be reduced for: Crops with LP periods, one percent per day for each day planted after the final planting date during the LP period, equal to 25 days, unless: the number of days is otherwise specified by the CP or SP; or the percentage reduction is otherwise specified by the CP. Acreage planted after the late planting period, or after the final planting date for crops that do not have a late planting period, by multiplying the production guarantee by the applicable PP coverage level percent, e.g., the production guarantee per acre is 90.0 bu. and the insured elected 65 percent PP coverage. The LP production guarantee is 58.5 bu. per acre (90.0 X 0.65). The insured must have been prevented from planting the acreage by the final planting date, or during the late planting period for crops that have a late planting period, by an insurable cause that occurred within the insurance period for PP. It is the insured’s option to insure this acreage.

Late planted acreage Production Guarantee
Production guarantee or amount of insurance that is applicable to timely planted acreage will be reduced for: Crops with LP periods: One percent for each day planted after the FPD equal to 25 days. Acreage planted after the LPP, or after the FPD for crops that do not have a LPP. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1215 Late Planted Acreage The CCIP contains the requirements for insuring acreage of an insured crop planted after the crop’s final planting date. The applicable CP (including the applicable SP) may limit the late planting period and/or change the percentage that coverage is reduced per day from those specified in the CCIP. Late planted acreage is not insurable under an ARPI policy. A. Production Guarantee or Amount of Insurance Reductions for CCIP Policies For each late planted acre of the insured crop, the production guarantee or amount of insurance that is applicable to timely planted acreage will be reduced for: Crops with LP periods, one percent per day for each day planted after the final planting date during the LP period, equal to 25 days, unless: the number of days is otherwise specified by the CP or SP; or the percentage reduction is otherwise specified by the CP. Acreage planted after the late planting period, or after the final planting date for crops that do not have a late planting period, by multiplying the production guarantee by the applicable PP coverage level percent, e.g., the production guarantee per acre is 90.0 bu. and the insured elected 65 percent PP coverage. The LP production guarantee is 58.5 bu. per acre (90.0 X 0.65). The insured must have been prevented from planting the acreage by the final planting date, or during the late planting period for crops that have a late planting period, by an insurable cause that occurred within the insurance period for PP. It is the insured’s option to insure this acreage.

Late planted acreage Reporting Planting Dates and Acreage Premium
Must report separately all acreage planted on or before the FPD and acreage planted per day during LPP. Premium Premium amount is the same as for acreage that was planted timely. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements B. Reporting Planting Dates and Acreage The insured must report separately all acreage planted on or before the final planting date, acreage planted per day (including the date) during the late planting period; and acreage planted after the late planting period. The AIP must identify the acreage specified in Para. 1215A on the acreage report transmitted to RMA according to Appendix III. C. Premium The premium amount for LP coverage is the same as for acreage that was planted timely. If the insured's premium (gross premium minus the subsidy) for acreage that is late planted exceeds the liability, coverage for that acreage will not be provided, no premium is due and no indemnity will be paid.

Late planted acreage Inability to Complete the Planting Method
Acreage on which an insured cause of loss prevented completion of planting will be considered as late planted and will have the coverage reduced. Crop LP Guidelines See Crop LP Guidelines Chart in CIH Part 12 Section 2 Paragraph 1215E . Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements D. Inability to Complete the Planting Method Any acreage on which an insured cause of loss prevented completion of planting as specified in the definition of planted acreage, will be considered as late planted and will have the coverage reduced as indicated in Para. 1215A(2). For example, when seed broadcast on the soil surface cannot be incorporated into the soil, the AIP must identify such acreage on the acreage report transmitted to RMA according to Appendix III. E. Crop LP Guidelines Crops with LP provisions are listed in the first column of the following chart. The second column indicates the percent the production guarantee, the final stage production guarantee for Onions and Sugar Beets, for timely planted acreage, is reduced for acreage planted during the LP period as indicated by the BP or CP. Additional limitations may be specified on the SP. The 3rd column indicates the percentage of the production guarantee that applies if the acreage was planted to the insured crop after the LP period (after the final planting date for crops that do not have a LP period) and the acreage was prevented from planting by the FPD or during the LP period, if applicable.

Insurable acreage CCIP
All acreage planted to the insured crop in the county in which the insured has a share is insurable if the acreage has been planted and harvested or insured in any one of the three previous crop years. Acreage that has not been planted and harvested or may still be insurable if: Acreage was not planted: In at least 2 of the 3 previous crop years to comply with another USDA program; Due to a qualifying crop rotation; or Because a perennial tree, vine, or bush crop was on the acreage in at least 2 of the 3 previous crop years. Acreage constitutes 5% or less of the insured planted acreage; Acreage was not planted or harvested because it was pasture, rangeland, or the CP/SP or a WA allows for insurance on such acreage. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. CCIP All acreage planted to the insured crop in the county in which the insured has a share is insurable if the acreage has been planted and harvested or insured (including insured acreage that was prevented from being planted) in any one of the three previous crop years. Production from insurable acreage must be reported on a Production Report and APH Database. See Part 13 and Part 15 for requirements and exceptions. Acreage that has not been planted and harvested (grazing is not considered harvested) or insured (i.e., insured acreage that failed and was appraised by an AIP would be insurable) in at least one of the three previous crop years may still be insurable if: such acreage was not planted: in at least two of the three previous crop years to comply with another USDA program; due to a qualifying crop rotation, the acreage would not have been planted in the previous three years (e.g., a crop rotation of corn, soybeans, and alfalfa; and the alfalfa remained for four years before corn was planted again); or because a perennial tree, vine, or bush crop was on the acreage in at least two of the three previous crop years; such acreage constitutes five percent or less of the insured planted acreage on the unit; such acreage was not planted or harvested because: it was pasture or rangeland; the insured crop is pasture or rangeland; and the CP, SP, or a WA specifically allows for insurance on such acreage; or the CP, SP, or a WA specifically allow insurance for such acreage.

Insurable acreage CCIP
Acreage emerging from a USDA program within the two most recent crops years is insurable under the terms of the policy. Acreage must be reported as separate line items on report by FN/Tract/Field. The acreage must be continuously report no matter if it is a different crop or not. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. CCIP Acreage emerging from a USDA program within the two most recent crop years that is being planted to a crop for the first time since being in the USDA program is insurable under the terms of the policy. See Para for requirements for acreage emerging from a USDA program. All acreage emerging from a USDA program must be reported as a separate line on the acreage report by FN/Tract/Field and include the applicable acreage type from Para. 1213A. The FN/Tract/Field for the acreage that has emerged from a USDA program must continue to be reported on the acreage report, regardless of whether it is a different crop or not. However, the initial year requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply in subsequent years.

Insurable acreage CCIP New breaking may be insurable or uninsurable.
Must be report on separate lines. Acreage type must be identified by the applicable code. The acreage must be continuously report no matter if it is a different crop or not. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. CCIP New breaking acreage may be insurable or uninsurable. See Para for new breaking acreage requirements. Report all new breaking acreage as a separate line, regardless of its insurability on the acreage report by FN/Tract/Field the initial year of planting. Any additional acreage reported for the unit containing the new breaking acreage must also report the FN/Tract/Field. The applicable acreage type must be identified on the acreage report by the applicable code. See Para. 1213A for the applicable acreage types. The FN/Tract/Field number for the new breaking acreage must continue to be reported on the acreage report in subsequent years, regardless of whether it is a different crop or not. However, the initial year requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply in subsequent years.

Insurable acreage CCIP Native sod may be insurable or uninsurable.
Must be report on separate lines. Acreage type must be identified by the applicable code. The acreage must be continuously report no matter if it is a different crop or not. Once the first four crop years of planting on the native sod acreage have been completed, the requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. CCIP Native sod acreage may be insurable or uninsurable. See Para and GSH Part 7 for native sod acreage requirements. Report all native sod acreage as a separate line(s), regardless of its insurability, on the acreage report by FN/Tract/Field. However, native sod acreage in multiple CLUs for a FN may be combined on a single acreage line, provided the acres for each FN/Tract/Field (CLU) are reported separately on corresponding land identification records (P27). The program indicator code of “NS” is reported on each native sod acreage line. Any additional acreage reported for the unit containing the native sod acreage must also report the FN/Tract/Field. The applicable acreage type must be identified on the acreage report by the applicable code. See Para. 1213A for the applicable acreage types. The FN/Tract/Field number for the native sod acreage must continue to be reported on the acreage report in subsequent years, regardless of whether it is a different crop or not. However, once the first four crop years of planting on the native sod acreage have been completed, the requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply

Insurable acreage CCIP Processor Contracts – Three Types:
Acreage Contract. Production Contract. Combination of acreage/production contract. Processor contracts must be executed not later than the ARD for the insured crop. Acreage is determine for: Acreage contract – minimum and maximum number of acres must be specified. Production contract – planted acreage. Combination – specifies a combination of the acreage/production requirements. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. CCIP Some CPs, endorsements or options (APH crops only) require that a processor contract be in effect for the crop to be eligible for insurance. There are three types of processor contracts. Acreage contracts are a processor contract that states the amount of acreage to be planted by the insured and that the processor agrees to purchase all production from this acreage meeting the requirements as stated in the contract. Production contracts are a processor contract that states a specific amount of production to be grown by the insured and that the processor agrees to purchase all production (up to the specified amount) meeting the requirements of the contract. A combination of acreage/production contracts. An acreage/production processor contract specifies a combination of acreage and production requirements. Most CPs require all processor contracts to be executed not later than the ARD for the insured crop. Refer to the individual CP. To determine insurable acreage under a processor contract: for an acreage processor contract, specifying a minimum number of acres, maximum number of acres, or both, the insurable acreage will be: zero, if the insured plants less than the minimum acreage stated in the contract and the contract contains no provision that makes the processor liable to accept the production and the insured cannot provide documentation confirming that the processor will accept the lesser amount; or the lesser of the planted acres or maximum number of acres specified in the contract. for a production processor contract the insurable acreage will be the planted acres. for an acreage/production processor contract, apply A(5)(a) above.

Insurable acreage CCIP Processor Contract Examples
Example 1: The insured has a processor contract stating that the processor will accept the production from a specific number of acres and the insured plants more than this amount. The insurable acreage will be the acreage stated in the processor contract. The remaining acreage must be reported as uninsurable. Example 2: The insured has a processor contract stating a maximum number of acres. If a maximum number of acres is specified, the acreage to be reported as insurable is planted acres, not to exceed the maximum. Planted acres that exceed the maximum are to be reported as uninsurable. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. CCIP Processor Contract Examples Example 1: The insured has a processor contract stating that the processor will accept the production from a specific number of acres and the insured plants more than this amount. The insurable acreage will be the acreage stated in the processor contract. The remaining acreage must be reported as uninsurable. Example 2: The insured has a processor contract stating a maximum number of acres. If a maximum number of acres is specified, the acreage to be reported as insurable is planted acres, not to exceed the maximum. Planted acres that exceed the maximum are to be reported as uninsurable.

Insurable acreage ARPI
All acreage planted to the insured crop in the county in which the insured has a share is insurable if the acreage has been planted and harvested or insured in any one of the three previous crop years. Acreage that has not been planted and harvested or may still be insurable if: Acreage was not planted: In at least 2 of the 3 previous crop years to comply with another USDA program; Due to a qualifying crop rotation, or Because a perennial tree, vine, or bush crop was on the acreage in at least 2 of the 3 previous crop years. Acreage constitutes 5% or less of the insured planted acreage; Acreage was not planted or harvested because it was pasture, rangeland or the CP/SP specifically allow insurance for such acreage. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage B. ARPI The insurable acreage is all of the acreage of the insured crop, for which a premium rate is provided in the actuarial documents, in which the insured has a share, and which is planted in the county listed on the application. Acreage must have been planted and harvested (grazing is not considered harvested) or insured (excluding Rainfall and Vegetation Index policy or any other specific policy listed in the SP) in at least one of the three previous crop years unless: the acreage was not planted: in at least two of the three previous crop years to comply with another USDA program; due to the crop rotation, the acreage would not have been planted in the previous three years (e.g., a crop rotation of corn, soybeans, and alfalfa; and the alfalfa remained for four years before corn was planted again); or because a perennial tree, vine, or bush crop was on the acreage in at least two of the three previous crop years; the acreage constitutes five percent or less of the insured planted acreage on the unit; the acreage was not planted or harvested because it was pasture or rangeland and the insured crop is pasture or rangeland; or the CP or SP specifically allows insurance for such acreage.

Insurable acreage ARPI
Acreage emerging from a USDA program within the two most recent crops years is insurable under the terms of the policy. Acreage must be reported as separate line items on report by FN/Tract/Field. The acreage must be continuously report no matter if it is a different crop or not. Doesn’t have to report separately after initial year. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage B. ARPI Acreage emerging from an USDA program (such as CRP, etc.) within the two most recent crop years that is being planted to a crop for the first time since being in the USDA program is insurable under the terms of the policy. All acreage emerging from a USDA program must be reported as a separate line on the acreage report by FN/Tract/Field and include the applicable acreage type from Para. 1213B. The FN/Tract/Field for the acreage that has emerged from a USDA program must continue to be reported on the acreage report, regardless of whether it is a different crop or not. However, the initial year requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply in subsequent years.

Insurable acreage ARPI New breaking may be insurable or uninsurable.
Must be reported on separate lines. Acreage type must be identified by the applicable code. The acreage must be continue to be reported in subsequent years, no matter if it is a different crop or not. Doesn’t have to report as a separate line item after initial year. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. ARPI New breaking acreage may be insurable or uninsurable. Report all new breaking acreage as a separate line, regardless of its insurability on the acreage report by FN/Tract/Field the initial year of planting. The applicable acreage type must be identified on the acreage report by the applicable code. See Para. 1213B for the applicable acreage types. The FN/Tract/Field number for the new breaking acreage must continue to be reported on the acreage report in subsequent years, regardless of whether it is a different crop or not. However, the initial year requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply in subsequent years.

Insurable acreage ARPI Native sod may be insurable or uninsurable.
Must be reported on separate lines. Acreage type must be identified by the applicable code. The acreage must be continue to be reported in subsequent years, no matter if it is a different crop or not. Once the first four crop years of planting on the native sod acreage have been completed, the requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1216 Insurable Acreage A. ARPI Native sod acreage may be insurable or uninsurable. See GSH Part 7 for native sod acreage requirements. Report all native sod acreage as a separate line(s), regardless of its insurability, on the acreage report by Farm/Tract/Field. However, native sod acreage in multiple CLUs for a FN may be combined on a single acreage line, provided the acres for each FN/Tract/Field (CLU) are reported separately on corresponding land identification records (P27). The program indicator code of “NS” is reported on each native sod acreage line. Any additional acreage reported for the unit containing the native sod acreage must also report the FN/Tract/Field. The applicable acreage type must be identified on the acreage report by the applicable code. See Para. 1213B for the applicable acreage types. The FN/Tract/Field number for the native sod acreage must continue to be reported on the acreage report in subsequent years, regardless of whether it is a different crop or not. However, once the first four crop years of planting on the native sod acreage have been completed, the requirement to report acreage as a separate line item does not apply

Uninsurable acreage CCIP Uninsurable acreage includes acreage:
On which the only crop that has been planted and harvested in the previous three crop years is a cover crop, hay or forage crop; Strip-mined; Actuarial document does not provide the necessary information; Damaged and was practical to replant but chose not to replant; or Inter-planted with another crop. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1217 Uninsurable Acreage A. CCIP Uninsurable acreage includes acreage: on which the only crop that has been planted and harvested in the previous three crop years is a cover crop, hay (except wheat for hay) or a forage crop (except corn or sorghum silage). However, such acreage may be insurable if: the insured crop is a hay or forage crop; and the CP, SP or a WA specifically allow for insurance on such acreage; or the hay, or forage crop is used in a crop rotation; that has been strip-mined unless: an agricultural commodity other than a cover crop, hay (except wheat harvested for hay) or forage crop (except insurable silage) has been harvested from the acreage for at least five crop years after the strip-mined land has been reclaimed; or a WA specifically allows insurance for such acreage; for which the actuarial documents do not provide the information necessary to determine the premium rate, unless insured by a WA that provides such information; that was damaged and it is practical to replant the insured crop but it was not replanted (insurance did not attach); that is inter-planted with another crop, unless allowed by the CP;

Insurance is restricted by CP or SP; Planted in any other manner than specified by the CP or SP; Second-crop; Crop planted following a second crop or insured crop that is prevented from being planted; or Volunteer crop. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1217 Uninsurable Acreage A. CCIP Uninsurable acreage includes acreage: on which insurance is otherwise restricted by the CP or SP; that is planted in any manner other than specified by the CP or SP unless insurance is permitted for such planting by a WA; of a second crop, if the insured elected not to insure such acreage when an indemnity for a first insured crop may be subject to a reduction in accordance with the provisions of BP section 15 and the insured intends to collect an indemnity payment that is equal to 100 percent of the insurable loss for the first insured crop acreage see Para. 1223; of a crop planted following a second crop or following an insured crop that is prevented from being planted after a first insured crop, unless it is a practice that is generally recognized by agricultural experts or organic agricultural experts for the area to plant three or more crops for harvest on the same acreage in the same crop year, and additional coverage insurance provided under the authority of the Act is offered for the third or subsequent crop in the same crop year; that is a volunteer crop;

Second planting of the same crop when the first planting has been harvested in the same crop year unless specifically permitted by the CP or SP; Planted for the development of production of Hybrid Seed or for experimental purposes; Used solely for wildlife protection or management; Initially planted after the final planting date; or Is not grown on planted acreage. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1217 Uninsurable Acreage A. CCIP Uninsurable acreage includes acreage: of a second planting of the same crop when the first planting has been harvested in the same crop year unless specifically permitted by the CP or SP; that is planted for the development of production of Hybrid Seed or for experimental purposes, unless insurance is permitted for such purposes by the CP or by WA; used solely for wildlife protection or management; initially planted after the final planting date unless late planting coverage is provided by the crop’s policy; and that is not grown on planted acreage (except for the purposes of PP coverage), or that is a type, class or variety or where the conditions under which the crop is planted are not generally recognized for the area. For example, where agricultural experts determine that planting a NI corn crop after a failed small grain crop on the same acreage is not a generally recognized practice for the area.

Uninsurable acreage ARPI Following acreage is not insurable:
Crop was destroyed or put to another use during the crop year; Insured failed to follow good farming practice; Planting conditions are not recognized for the area; Acreage of a second crop, if the insured elected not to insure such acreage when an indemnity for a first insured crop may be subject to a reduction in accordance with the provisions of ARPI; Crop planted following a second crop or insured crop that is prevented from being planted. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1217 Uninsurable Acreage B. ARPI The following acreage is not insurable under the ARPI plan of insurance: acreage where the crop was destroyed or put to another use during the crop year for the purpose of conforming with, or obtaining a payment under, any other program administered by the USDA; acreage where the AIP has determined the insured failed to follow good farming practices for the insured crop; acreage where the conditions under which the crop is planted are not generally recognized for the area; Example: Acreage where agricultural experts determine that planting a NI corn crop after a failed small grain crop on the same acreage in the same crop year is not appropriate for the area. acreage of a second crop, if the insured elected not to insure such acreage when an indemnity for a first insured crop may be subject to a reduction in accordance with the provisions of ARPI, Section 13 and the insured intends to collect an indemnity payment that is equal to 100 percent of the insurable loss for the first insured crop acreage. The election must be made for all first insured crop acreage that may be subject to an indemnity reduction if the first insured crop is under ARPI or on a first insured crop unit basis if the first insured crop is not insured under ARPI (e.g., if the first insured crop insured under ARPI consists of 40 acres, or the first insured crop unit insured under another policy contains 40 planted acres, then no second crop can be insured on any of the 40 acres). acreage of a crop planted following a second crop or following an insured crop that is prevented from being planted after a first insured crop, unless it is a practice that is generally recognized by agricultural experts or organic agricultural experts for the area to plant three or more crops for harvest on the same acreage in the same crop year, and additional coverage insurance provided under the authority of the Act is offered for the third or subsequent crop in the same crop year. Insurance will only be provided for a third or subsequent crop as follows:

Uninsurable acreage of an Insured Crop
Only applies to CCIP policies and includes: Land classified as high-risk land excluded with a High-Risk Land Exclusion Option; and Acreage of Category C crops that do not meet age and/or production minimums that is excluded. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1218 Uninsured Acreage of an Insured Crop Uninsured acreage of an insured crop only applies to CCIP policies and includes: insurable acreage on land classified as high-risk land excluded with a High-Risk Land Exclusion Option; and acreage of Category C crops that does not meet age and/or production minimums that is excluded.

Unreported Acreage or Units
Overview Unreported acreage is insurable acreage not reported timely, or not reported, and does not meet the criteria to be reported as insured acreage on a revised acreage report. Unreported units are units which were not reported timely, or not reported, for which the AIP denies liability. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1219 Unreported Acreage or Units Unreported acreage is insurable acreage not reported timely, or not reported, and does not meet the criteria to be reported as insured acreage on a revised acreage report, see Para Unreported units, when units are applicable, are units which were not reported timely, or not reported, for which the AIP denies liability.

Unreported Units (Unreported Acreage Insured as a Separate Unit) If the acreage and all other reported unit(s) for the crop meet the requirements for accepting acreage, revise the acreage report to add the unreported unit acreage. If they don’t meet the requirements the acreage report will not be revised. Damage to other reported units and the unreported units will not be added because of the other damage units. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1219 Unreported Acreage or Units A. Unreported Units (Unreported Acreage Insured as a Separate Unit) For acreage that would be insured as a separate unit: if the acreage and all other reported unit(s) for the crop meet the requirements for accepting acreage as outlined in LAM Para. 182, revise the acreage report to add the unreported unit acreage. if the acreage or any other reported unit(s) for the crop does not meet the requirements for accepting acreage: the acreage report will not be revised, and the harvested or appraised production from the unreported unit acreage will be prorated to all insured units if an indemnity is claimed on any unit, (refer to LAM). when there may be damage on other reported units and the unreported unit will not be added for this reason: appraise the unreported unit acreage (that could have been insured) if it has not been harvested, and it appears that it will not be harvested. This appraisal will be used if a claim is filed on any insured unit as outlined in the LAM.

Unreported Acreage in a Reported Unit If the acreage meet the requirements for accepting acreage, revise the acreage report to add the unreported acreage to the unit. If they don’t meet the requirements: Guarantee will be computed on the information reported, and Production from the unreported acreage will count against the guarantee. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1219 Unreported Acreage or Units B. Unreported Acreage in a Reported Unit If acreage (including the reported acreage for that unit): meets the requirements for accepting acreage as outlined in the LAM, revise the acreage report to add the under reported acreage to the unit. does not meet the requirement for accepting acreage as outlined in the LAM, the: guarantee will be computed on the information reported, and production from the unreported acreage will count against the guarantee.

Late Planted Unreported Acreage Acreage that was planted after the FPD: Will be considered insurable if: Insurable by the actuarial documents or WA; and Planted on or before the FPD for the crop for the applicable county or latest allowable date under the LP provisions. Will be uninsurable if the acreage is not insurable under the policy provisions, SP, actuarial documents, or by WA. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1219 Unreported Acreage or Units C. Late Planted Unreported Acreage Acreage which the insured did not report or designate (even as uninsured acreage), and which the insured asserts was planted after the FPD (or LPD, if applicable) will be handled according to (1) and (2) below. Insurable (but not insured) acreage will be considered insurable (but not insured) if: The acreage is insurable under the actuarial documents or by a WA; i.e., rates and coverage are available for the acreage itself, or crop P/T; and The acreage was planted on or before the: FPD for the crop shown on the SP for the applicable county, or latest allowable date under the LP provisions found in the applicable CP, if applicable to the crop, and the acreage was not prevented from planting.

Zero acreage report Zero Acreage Report
Before the ARD, the insured must submit a zero acreage report for the county even if they don’t have a share in the insured crop in the county. Zero report must also be submit if the insured crop is not planted on the entire unit. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1220 Zero Acreage Report The insured must submit a zero acreage report for the county on or before the ARD if the insured does not have a share in the insured crop in the county. If the insured crop is not planted on an entire unit, the insured must report zero acres on a unit, if units are applicable.

Preliminary Acreage Reports
CCIP Insurer’s planting intentions. Report issued no earlier than 30 days prior to the final ARD. AIPs must provide the insured with instructions to verify the accuracy of their preliminary acreage report and to submit any corrections or additions to the AIP by the final ARD. Coverage will be based on the preliminary acreage report if no other report is provide prior or on the ARD. Not applicable for PP reporting purposes. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1221 Preliminary Acreage Reports for CCIP AIPs may request planting intentions from the insured at the time of Application or when servicing the policy for subsequent crop years (e.g., updating the APH). Information generated from the preliminary acreage report must be issued to each insured no earlier than 30 days prior to the final ARD. AIPs must provide the insured with instructions to verify the accuracy of their preliminary acreage report and to submit any corrections or additions to the AIP by the final ARD. If the insured submits nothing further by the final ARD, coverage is based on the preliminary acreage report and is considered complete and accurate. If liability is under or over-reported, the liability and any potential indemnity may be impacted unless the insured has requested acreage measurement service, see Para Preliminary acreage reports are not applicable for PP reporting purposes. See FCIC Prevented Planting Loss Adjustment Standards Handbook for intended acreage report instructions for PP.

Reporting IRR Practice
AIPs are to provide a copy of the Irrigated Practice Guidelines to all insureds annually for whom the irrigated practice may apply. These are sent with the Policy Declaration Page and Policy Printing to each insured. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1222 Reporting IRR Practices for CCIP AIPs shall provide a copy of the Irrigated Practice Guidelines to all insureds annually for whom the IRR practice may apply. The Irrigated Practice Guidelines identify factors to be considered in determining the proper acreage to be reported and insured under an IRR practice. See Para for IRR practice requirements and the DSSH for the Irrigated Practice Guidelines.

First Insured Crop Planted and Second Crop
First Insured Crop Limitations May apply to acreage planted to a 1st insured crop which has suffered an insurable loss. This excludes acreage that qualifies for double cropping. Acreage harvest in the same crop year as a first insure crop may: Indemnity payment equal to 100% of the insurable loss; and Elect not to insured 2nd crop acreage on the same acreage. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1223 First (1st) Insured Crop Planted and Second (2nd) Crop A. 1st Insured Crop Limitations 1st insured crop limitations may apply to acreage planted to a 1st insured crop which has suffered an insurable loss. This excludes acreage that qualifies for double cropping. See LAM for more information on double cropping. An insured that does not plant, or plants and does not insure, a 2nd crop on the same acreage for harvest in the same crop year as a first insured crop may: collect an indemnity payment that is equal to 100 percent of the insurable loss for the 1st insured crop, and elect not to insure 2nd crop acreage on the same acreage, even if the insured has a policy for a 2nd crop. This is considered uninsurable acreage, see Para for acreage reporting requirements of such acreage.

Second Insured Crop Limitations When the person insuring the 1st crop, or another person, plants and insures a 2nd crop on the same acreage for harvest in the same crop year and there is an insurable loss to the second crop, a full indemnity may be paid on the 2nd crop. Indemnity payment limited to 35% of the insurable loss for the first insured crop. If 2nd crop does not suffer an insurable loss, an indemnity payment, if applicable, for the other 65% of the 1st crop’s insurable loss that was not previously paid will be made and the remainder of the premium will be due. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1223 First (1st) Insured Crop Planted and Second (2nd) Crop B. 2nd Insured Crop Limitations When the person insuring the 1st crop, or another person, plants and insures a 2nd crop on the same acreage for harvest in the same crop year and there is an insurable loss to the second crop, a full indemnity may be paid on the 2nd crop. Indemnity payment is limited to 35 percent of the insurable loss for the 1st insured crop. The person insuring the 1st crop will be responsible for 35 percent of the 1st crop’s premium. If the 2nd crop does not suffer an insurable loss, an indemnity payment, if applicable, for the other 65 percent of the 1st crop’s insurable loss that was not previously paid will be made and the remainder of the premium will be due. A subsequent crop, such as a 3rd crop, planted on the same acreage does not limit an indemnity being paid on the 2nd crop.

Third and Subsequent Insured Crop Limitations Acreage of a crop planted following a 2nd crop or acreage of a crop planted following a prevented planted 2nd insured crop which followed an insured 1st crop is not insurable unless: Generally recognized in the area; Additional coverage is offered; and The insured provides acceptable records that: They produced and harvested crop in at least two of the last four years; or Had three or more crops produced and harvested in at least two of the last four years. Insurable acreage will not exceed the greatest number of acres which the insured provided the records that were required. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1223 First (1st) Insured Crop Planted and Second (2nd) Crop C. 3rd and Subsequent Insured Crop Limitations Acreage of a crop planted following a 2nd crop or acreage of a crop planted following a prevented planted 2nd insured crop which followed an insured 1st crop is not insurable unless: it is generally recognized for the area to plant three or more crops for harvest on the same acreage in the same crop year by agricultural experts or organic agricultural experts; additional coverage is offered for the 3rd or subsequent crop; and the insured provides acceptable records that demonstrate: the insured has produced and harvested the insured crop following two other crops harvested on the same acreage in the same crop year in at least two of the last four years in which they produced the insured crop; or the applicable acreage has had three or more crops produced and harvested on it in at least two of the last four years in which the insured crop was grown on it. The amount of insurable acreage for the 3rd or subsequent crop will not exceed the greatest number of acres for which the insured provided the records required in the applicable preceding [subparagraph (3)(b)].

General Information Replanting of 1st crop acreage to the same 1st crop doesn’t count as 2nd crop. Forage and perennials are consider a 1st crop. Skip-row cotton that is planted and insured fails and grain sorghum is planted in rows that where not cotton, grain sorghum is considered the 2nd crop. 1st and 2nd insured crop rules apply to certified seed potatoes and malting barley as they do to other crops. Insured who elect not to insure acreage of a 2nd crop may affect any linkage requirement for FSA program participation. If 2nd crop is uninsured, acreage and production from such acreage is not included for APH purposes. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1223 First (1st) Insured Crop Planted and Second (2nd) Crop D. General Information A 2nd crop does not include replanting of 1st crop acreage to the same 1st crop, except as stated in the LAM Para. 174 D or G. Forage production and other insured perennial crops are considered a 1st insured crop. Although forage and other perennial crops may not be planted each year, they are the 1st insured crop. If an insured plants and insures skip-row cotton, it fails, and grain sorghum is planted in the rows that were not planted to cotton, the grain sorghum is still considered the 2nd crop for this acreage. The 1st insured/2nd crop rules apply to certified seed potatoes and malting barley the same as they do to other crops such as regular potatoes and the all others type barley. AIPs should make insureds aware that an insured’s election not to insure acreage of a 2nd crop may affect any linkage requirement for FSA program participation. When an insured elects to not insure 2nd crop acreage, the acreage and production from such acreage is not included for APH purposes for subsequent years except when it is commingled with production from insured acreage.

Insured’s Options Not plant a 2nd crop and receive 100% of indemnity on the 1st insured crop acreage. Plant but not insure the 2nd crop because 1st crop was planted for harvest in the same crop year.. Plant and insure the 2nd crop. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 2 Acreage Report Elements 1223 First (1st) Insured Crop Planted and Second (2nd) Crop E. Insured’s Options Not plant a 2nd crop on the same acreage for harvest in the same crop year and receive 100 percent of indemnity due for the 1st insured crop acreage. Plant, but not insure a 2nd crop planted on the same acreage as the 1st insured crop was planted for harvest in the same crop year. Example: Insured’s Unit OU corn = 150 acres of 1st insured crop corn, 50 of which suffers an early loss and is released. Insured plans to plant 2nd crop on acreage. Unit OU soybeans = 250 acres of planted soybeans consisting of 200 1st insured crop acres and 50 2nd crop acres (same 50 acres that corn was planted in corn unit OU). The insured timely elects to not insure the 50 acres of 2nd crop acreage in unit OU soybeans. Insured’s Corn Unit OU = 175 acres of 1st-insured crop corn, 20 of which suffers an early loss. Unit OU soybeans = 250 acres of planted soybeans consisting of 230 1st crop acres and 20 of 2nd crop acres (same 20 acres that corn was planted on in corn unit OU). However, the insured timely elects to insure the 20 acres of 2nd crop acreage in unit OU soybeans. Plant and insure the 2nd crop on the same acreage (as the 1st insured crop was planted) for harvest in the same crop year.

Acreage report Revisions

Acreage report revisions
Overview A revised acreage is permitted when the criteria in Para is met in following situations: Insured files a request for a revision, on a unit basis when units are applicable. AIP may file a revised acreage report to: Correct a keying error on the original acreage report, Improper unit division to delete uninsurable acreage reported as insurable acreage, and Provided the revision falls within the allowed parameters outlined in this section. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1231 Overview If incorrect, the acreage report may be revised when allowed under these procedures. A revised acreage is permitted when the criteria in Para is met in following situations: the insured files a request for a revision, on a unit basis when units are applicable. the AIP may file a revised acreage report to correct a keying error on the original acreage report, improper unit division to delete uninsurable acreage reported as insurable acreage, and so on, provided the revision falls within the allowed parameters outlined in this section.

Guidelines Acreage reports may only be revised if: On or before the applicable final ARD. If after the ARD, insured cannot revised except: Permitted by the policy, or With consent of the AIP. If the revision is to include unreported units and/or unreported acreage. If an acreage report is initially submitted for PP acreage, it cannot be revised at any time to change crops or types. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1232 Acceptable Revisions for CCIP A. Acreage Report Revision Guidelines Acreage reports may only be revised if one of the following is applicable. If it is on or before the applicable final ARD, insureds may revise acreage reports for planted acres without a crop inspection and AIP approval. See C below for requirements. If it is after the applicable final ARD, insured cannot revise an acreage reports except: as expressly permitted by the policy: if the insured requests acreage be short rated and the provisions in the CP are met, the acreage report will be revised to designate the short rated acres separately (see F); or if the insured requests measurement service on or before the ARD and such measurement service results in a different acreage determination, the acreage report will be revised to reflect the determined acres. See Para. 1234; or with consent of AIP. AIPs may only provide consent when the AIP determines: a cause of loss has not occurred and an appraisal indicates the crop will produce at least 90 percent of the yield used to determine the guarantee or amount of insurance for the unit (including reported and unreported acreage), except when there are unreported units. See Para for additional information regarding acceptance of unreported units]; information on the acreage report is clearly transposed; or adequate evidence is provided that the AIP or someone from USDA has committed an error regarding information on the acreage report. If the revision is to include unreported units and/or unreported acreage, the revision may be made at any time; however, this acreage is not considered insurable unless it meets the requirements in 2(b) above. Such acreage must be identified as unreported units and/or unreported acreage on the acreage report. If an acreage report is initially submitted for PP acreage, it cannot be revised at any time to change crops or types. After the applicable ARD, information on the acreage report for PP acres cannot be revised, except for (2)(b)ii and iii above.

Requirements Acreage reports revisions require: Documentation in the remarks section of the report; Date, signature, and code number of the person revising the report; Insured’s signature, or authorized representative’s signature, and date, unless circumstances warrant the absence of the required signature; and Acreage reports revised after the final ARD, the AIP’s authorized representative’s approval. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1232 Acceptable Revisions for CCIP B. Acreage Report Revisions Requirements All acreage report revisions require: documentation in the “Remarks” section of the acreage report, or other form specified by the AIP to revise acreage reports, explaining why the revision took place and what change(s) were made (if a form was used to document, or notate; see attached (Form Number) in the “Remarks” section of the acreage report; date, signature, and code number of the person preparing the revised acreage report or other form designated by the AIP to revise acreage reports; insured’s signature, or authorized representative’s signature, and date, unless circumstances warrant the absence of the required signature. If the insured’s signature is not obtained, document why the signature was not obtained in the “Remarks”. Based on the nature of the revision and the reasons the insured’s signature was not obtained, the AIP will determine whether the revised acreage report should be approved without the insured’s signature; for example, correcting keying errors would not require the insured’s signature. For CAT coverage only: Unless a person with an insurable interest in the crop objects in writing on or before the ARD and provides a signed acreage report on his or her own behalf, the operator may file/sign the acreage report for all other persons with an insurable interest in the crop, including a revised acreage report. A POA is not required and all other persons with an insurable interest in the crop, and for whom the operator purports to sign for and represent, are bound by the information contained in that acreage report. If the insured’s signature is not obtained, document why the signature was not obtained. Based on the nature of the revision and the reasons the insured’s, or authorized representative’s signature was not obtained, the AIP will determine whether the revised acreage report should be approved without the insured’s, or authorized representative’s, signature. For example, correcting keying errors would not require the insured’s, or authorized representative’s signature; and for acreage reports revised after the final ARD, the AIP’s authorized representative’s approval.

Revised on or Before the ARD May be revised on or before the ARD when information that affects the guarantee, premium, or liability for the crop was incorrectly reported. Acreage reports for a PP crop may be revised on or before the ARD to change any information on any initially submitted acreage report. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1232 Acceptable Revisions for CCIP C. Revised Acreage Reports On or Before the ARD Acreage reports for a planted crop may be revised on or before the ARD when information that affects the guarantee, premium, or liability for the crop was incorrectly reported. No crop inspection or approval is required when revisions are filed BEFORE the ARD. Acreage reports for a PP crop may be revised on or before the ARD to change any information on any initially submitted acreage report. For example, the insured can add acreage of the insured crop prevented from planting, or to correct a share. Exception: The insured CANNOT revise the insured’s initially submitted acreage report AT ANY TIME, and the AIP cannot approve, to change the insured crop or type that was reported as prevented from planting on the acreage report, unless the insured can provide adequate evidence that the insured did report the correct crop or type, but the AIP, agent, or someone from the USDA committed an error regarding the crop or type shown on the processed acreage report. Refer to the PP LASH for examples of revised acreage reports for PP acreage.

Revised After the ARD Acreage reports for planted acres may be revised after the ARD ONLY with the AIP’s consent. Consent can be made only if: No cause of loss has occurred; Unit passes the crop inspection criteria; or No crop inspection is needed. (See next slide for when one is not needed) IRR practice may not be revised to NI practice unless they reported both an IRR and NI practice and claims there is an error in the reported acreage. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1232 Acceptable Revisions for CCIP D. Revised Acreage Reports After the ARD Acreage reports for planted acres may be revised after the ARD ONLY with the AIP’s consent (i.e., approval) as follows. The AIP can provide consent for a revised acreage report if: No cause of loss has occurred. When insureds request revisions to reduce acres, AIPs can provide consent as stated in subparagraph E(8) below; The unit passes the crop inspection criteria for accepting unreported acreage information; for example, adding acreage or units, as stated in the LAM; or A crop inspection is not needed to revise the acreage report as stated in subparagraph E below. Acreage reported as an IRR practice that qualifies for an IRR practice at the time insurance attaches, cannot be revised to a NI practice, even when the insured never applied any irrigation water. When a loss is evident on the unit or when harvest is general in the area, unless D(1)(c) below or B applies. The LAM provides procedure that applies when acreage cannot be revised from IRR to NI and when acreage does not qualify for an IRR practice. When the insured has reported both an IRR and NI practice and claims there is an error in the reported acreage of IRR and/or NI practices, a revised acreage report may be approved to change a NI practice to an IRR practice (acreage must qualify for an IRR practice) or IRR may be revised to a NI practice), provided: no damage or loss has occurred, harvest is not general in the area, and the AIP has verified that the practice for which the change was requested actually existed and is being carried out in a manner consistent with a good farming practice for the practice that the acreage is being revised. For revisions to the acreage report for PP Acreage, refer to the PP LASH.

Revisions can be done without a Crop Inspection Acreage reports may be revised to add or revise information on a crop unit without crop inspections for the following situations: Short-rated acreage; Measurement service requested; Crop is replanted to a different P/T; Keying error; Incorrect unit reported; AIP, USDA, or agent made an error; Any other reasons specified in the policy provisions; Acreage has been over reported; and Correctable transposition acreage report errors. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1232 Acceptable Revisions for CCIP E. When Acreage Report Revisions Can Be Done Without a Crop Inspection Acreage reports may be revised to add or revise information on a crop unit without crop inspections for the following situations and a LAF is ONLY applicable to misreported information on the revised acreage report: Short-rated acreage (refer to subparagraph F below); Measurement service requested by the date specified in Para. 1234; The crop is replanted to a different P/T than was initially reported and that is specified on the actuarial documents; e.g., initially planted oil-type sunflowers, and replanted to non-oil type, unless specified otherwise in the CPs or SPs. The same acres as were shown on the initial acreage report would be shown on the revised acreage report, unless the insured requested that additional acreage be added, which would then require a crop inspection. Keying errors of the acreage report caused an incorrect Summary of Insurance to be issued; Incorrect unit arrangement has been reported; The insured provided evidence that the agent, AIP or someone from USDA has committed an error regarding the information on the insured’s acreage report. Following are some, but not limited to, items and documents from which the agent or AIP could make an error when transferring information from the document to the acreage report and which would substantiate that an error was made: Any other reasons specified in the policy provisions, including those shown in subparagraph E(1), F, and Para Acreage has been over reported. Correctable transposition acreage report errors. When it is obvious that the acreage was inadvertently switched between lines at the time the insured’s acreage report was completed resulting in incorrect acres between crops or practices, FSA FNs, types, etc., AIPs may approve a revised acreage report to correct the error. The reason for the revision must be documented. The insured must sign the revised acreage report.

Revisions to Reduce Premium for Acreage Destroyed Prior to Harvest (Short Rated) Acreage reports CANNOT be revised after the ARD to remove or reduce premium because the insurable acreage was destroyed prior to harvest, except when the actuarial documents provide a reduced premium rate (short-rate) for acreage destroyed prior to harvest. If the insured requests such acreage be designated separately on their acreage report, the AIP must revise the acreage report if the conditions stated in the CP and SP are met. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1232 Acceptable Revisions for CCIP F. Revisions to Reduce Premium for Acreage Destroyed Prior to Harvest (Short Rate) Acreage reports CANNOT be revised after the ARD to remove or reduce premium because the insurable acreage was destroyed prior to harvest, except when the actuarial documents provide a reduced premium rate (short-rate) for acreage destroyed prior to harvest. Short rate provides a reduced premium rate for acreage that will be destroyed prior to harvest and reported to the AIP by the date designated in the crop's SP. If the insured requests such acreage be designated separately on their acreage report, the AIP must revise the acreage report if the conditions stated in the CP and SP are met. Separate line entries are required on the acreage report for the acreage on which insurance will continue and the acreage eligible for the reduced premium rate (short rated acreage). Short rated acreage is not eligible for a claim for indemnity. However, a year the crop is short rated is considered a year of producing the crop; and is reported as zero production, identified by a “Q” yield descriptor, with the actual acres short rated on the production report and APH database. Short rated acreage cannot be reinstated for insurance coverage after the insured notifies the AIP that the acreage will be destroyed prior to harvest. Any production from short rated acreage will be considered production from uninsurable acreage for APH purposes. For situations other than short rated acreage, if the insured destroys or puts acreage to another use without consent, an appraisal of not less than the guarantee will be assessed on such acreage. However, such appraisals are not used for APH purposes. Premium adjustments will not be made for insured acreage destroyed or put to another use after the ARD.

Acceptable Acreage Report Revisions for ARPI ARPI acreage reports may only be revised if: Planted acres on or before the ARD. Can be made after the ARD with the AIP consents when the AIP determines: Information was clearly transposed on the acreage report; or The AIP or USDA has committed an error on the report. Land acquired after the ARD. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1233 Acceptable Acreage Report Revisions for ARPI ARPI acreage reports may only be revised when the following is applicable. Insureds may revise acreage reports for planted acres without AIP consent on or before the ARD. Acreage reports can only be revised after the ARD with the consent of the AIP when the AIP determines: information on the acreage report is clearly transposed; or adequate evidence is provided that the AIP or someone from USDA has committed an error regarding information on the acreage report. Acreage reports may be revised for land acquired after the ARD and AIPs may choose to insure or not insure the acreage, provided the acreage is insurable and an acreage report is filed. Acreage must meet all insurability requirements and policy elections cannot be modified, e.g. coverage level, protection factor, for the added acreage. This does not apply to any acreage for which insurance attached under a different person’s policy and a transfer of coverage and right to indemnity is executed.

Measurement Service Requested for Acreage Reports On or before the ARD, an insured may request an acreage measurement service. The report must: Filed on or before the final ARD. Estimated acreage for the acreage requested. Documentation Service may be completed by FSA or other businesses that provide the service. Measurement must be provided to the AIP. Premium will be based on estimated acreage if report is not provided to AIP at least 15 days prior to premium billing. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1234 Measurement Services Requested for Acreage Reports On or before the ARD, an insured may request an acreage measurement service. If an acreage measurement service is requested the following are applicable. An acreage report must: be filed on or before the final ARD; include estimated acreage for the acreage for which a measurement service has been requested; and Documentation that verifies acreage measurement was requested must be furnished to the AIP on or before the final ARD. The measurement service may be completed by FSA or businesses that provide land measurement (including those with which sales agents are associated). The measurement, when completed, must be provided to the AIP. If the acreage measurement is not provided at least 15 days prior to the premium billing date, the premium will be based on the estimated acreage and will be revised, if necessary, when the acreage measurement is provided.

Measurement Service Requested for Acreage Reports CCIP policies, if the insured fails to provide the acreage measurement to the AIP by the time a notice of loss is filed, the AIP may: Make all necessary loss determinations, except the acreage measurement, and defer finalization of the claim until the measurement is completed and provided; or Elect to measure the acreage and finalize the claim. ARPI policies if the acreage measurement is not provided by the time the final county revenue or final county yield, the AIP may: Elect to measure the acreage and finalize the claim; Defer finalization of the claim until the measurement is completed; or Finalize the claim. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1234 Measurement Services Requested for Acreage Reports On or before the ARD, an insured may request an acreage measurement service. If an acreage measurement service is requested the following are applicable. For CCIP policies, if the insured fails to provide the acreage measurement to the AIP by the time a notice of loss is filed, the AIP may: make all necessary loss determinations, except the acreage measurement, and defer finalization of the claim until the measurement is completed and provided. If the acreage measurement is not provided, the claim will not be paid; or elect to measure the acreage and finalize the claim. In addition, estimated acreage will not be accepted from the insured for any subsequent acreage report For ARPI policies, if the acreage measurement is not provided by the time the final county revenue or final county yield, as applicable, is calculated, the AIP may: elect to measure the acreage and finalize the claim in accordance with applicable policy provisions; defer finalization of the claim until the measurement is completed with the understanding that if the insured fails to provide the measurement prior to the termination date, any claim will not be paid; or finalize the claim in accordance with applicable policy provisions after the insured provides the acreage measurement

Measurement Service Requested for Acreage Reports If the acreage measurement is not provided to the AIP by the termination date, the insured will be precluded from providing any estimated acreage for all subsequent crop years. Report will be revised if there is a discrepancy between the two unless: Measurement is not turned in timely; or Irreconcilable difference in the measurements. If there is a irreconcilable difference: Acreage measured by FSA or a measuring service, and the AIP on-farm measurement, the AIP on-farm measurement will be used; or Acreage measured by a measuring service, other than the AIP on-farm measurement, and FSA, the FSA measurement will be used. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1234 Measurement Services Requested for Acreage Reports On or before the ARD, an insured may request an acreage measurement service. If an acreage measurement service is requested the following are applicable. If the acreage measurement is not provided to the AIP by the termination date, the insured will be precluded from providing any estimated acreage for all subsequent crop years. The acreage report will be revised if there is a discrepancy between the estimated acreage report and the measurement unless: the acreage measurement is not turned in timely; or the AIP has measured in accordance with E above and there is an irreconcilable difference in the measurements see (10) below. If there is an irreconcilable difference between: the acreage measured by FSA or a measuring service, and the AIP on-farm measurement, the AIP on-farm measurement will be used; or the acreage measured by a measuring service, other than the AIP on-farm measurement, and FSA, the FSA measurement will be used.

Examples of Revisions Insured reported unit OU and OU of grain sorghum as insurable. Upon inspection OU was found to be planted to an uninsurable practice. ACTION: Revise OU to designate the acreage as uninsurable acreage instead of insurable. Indicate the reason why the acreage is uninsurable. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1235 Examples for Acreage Report Revisions Following are some examples of incorrect acreage report and applicable revisions. Always document the reason for the revision on the form used to revise acreage reports. Insured reported unit OU and OU of grain sorghum as insurable. Upon inspection OU was found to be planted to an uninsurable practice. ACTION: Revise OU to designate the acreage as uninsurable acreage instead of insurable. Indicate the reason why the acreage is uninsurable. During an inspection prior to harvest being general in the area, the AIP discovered that unit BU of soybeans had not been reported on the original acreage report. The crop inspection indicated that this unit and all other units met the appraisal criteria for accepting additional liability for the additional unit, as defined in the LAM. ACTION: Unit BU may be added. An incorrect risk classification for unit BU was entered on the original acreage report. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to show the correct risk classification, and notate the reason for the revision.

Examples of Revisions The original acreage report shows all of unit BU ( acres) was planted by the FPD and there is no LP provision for the crop, but it was determined 20.0 acres of unit BU were planted after the FPD. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to reduce the acres of insured acreage to 88.0 insured acres. Document that unit BU was revised to designate the 20 acres planted after the FPD as uninsured acreage. Harvested production from insured acreage (88.0 acres) must be kept separate from harvested production from the uninsured acreage (20.0 acres). Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1235 Examples for Acreage Report Revisions Following are some examples of incorrect acreage report and applicable revisions. Always document the reason for the revision on the form used to revise acreage reports. The original acreage report shows 25.0 acres for unit BU, and the inspection reveals acres were planted. The crop inspection indicated that all the criteria for accepting additional acreage for this unit (reported and unreported acreage) were met, as defined in the LAM. ACTION: The acreage report may be revised to add the additional acreage. The original acreage report shows all of unit BU (108.0 acres) was planted by the FPD and there is no LP provision for the crop, but it was determined 20.0 acres of unit BU were planted after the FPD. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to reduce the acres of insured acreage to 88.0 insured acres. Document that unit BU was revised to designate the 20 acres planted after the FPD as uninsured acreage. Harvested production from insured acreage (88.0 acres) must be kept separate from harvested production from the uninsured acreage (20.0 acres). The original acreage report shows all of unit BU (200.0 acres) was planted by the FPD, but it was determined that 50.0 acres were planted 5 days after the final planting period. This is a crop that the policy provisions provide for automatic late-planted acreage coverage. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to show acres as timely planted with a separate line entry showing the 50.0 acres with the correct planting date.

Examples of Revisions The original acreage report shows unit BU of wheat with 100 percent share. The inspection revealed there were two BUs, one with 100 percent share and one with 50 percent share. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to show the correct unit structure (two BUs). The APH database for must also be divided to reflect the correct unit structure. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1235 Examples for Acreage Report Revisions Following are some examples of incorrect acreage report and applicable revisions. Always document the reason for the revision on the form used to revise acreage reports. The original acreage report shows 50 percent share for unit BU. It is determined that the share at the time of planting was 100 percent and is still 100 percent. (No additional acreage is being added.) ACTION: Provided a crop inspection indicates that unit BU acreage meets the criteria for accepting additional liability, as defined in the LAM, the acreage report can be revised to reflect 100 percent share. The original acreage report shows 100 percent share for unit BU soybeans. The inspection revealed the share at the time of planting was 50 percent. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to reflect the appropriate share at the time of planting. The original acreage report shows unit BU of wheat with 100 percent share. The inspection revealed there were two BUs, one with 100 percent share and one with 50 percent share. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to show the correct unit structure (two BUs). The APH database for must also be divided to reflect the correct unit structure. The original acreage report shows two OUs of soybeans. The inspection determined that no separate records of production or acreage were maintained to support the production report filed. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to combine the two OUs. Delete the unit number not kept.

Examples of Revisions The insured reports planted acres on the acreage report, but only acres are planted and the insured claims that 25.0 of the acres were actually prevented from planting. The insured claims he/she reported the acres because he/she was planning to plant acres, but then it started raining and the insured was unable to plant the other 25.0 acres as reported. ACTION: If it is prior to the ARD, both the planted and PP acres can be revised. If it is after the ARD, the acreage report cannot be revised to add the PP acres. However, the planted acres can be revised downward, if at the time the revision is requested, no insured cause of loss affecting the planted acres has occurred. If it is before the ARD, the acreage report can be revised to add the PP acres and reduce the planted acres; and if it is after the ARD, no PP acres can be added. Crop Insurance Handbook– Part 12 Acreage Report Section 3 Acreage Report Revisions 1235 Examples for Acreage Report Revisions Following are some examples of incorrect acreage report and applicable revisions. Always document the reason for the revision on the form used to revise acreage reports. The original acreage report show unit BU soybeans with .333 share. The verification of the share revealed that the insured had no interest in this unit. ACTION: Revise the acreage report to remove unit BU soybeans. The insured reported two units ( OU and OU) of soybeans on the acreage report. After the ARD, the insured reviewed the Summary of Coverage that was generated from the soybean acreage report and discovered that he/she had failed to report unit OU soybeans. The insured requests that unit OU be added. The crop inspection to accept additional acreage reveals that the appraisal for unit OU and the appraisal for OU exceed 90 percent of the yield upon which the per-acre guarantee for each unit is based. However, unit OU acreage appraises below 90 percent of the yield upon which the per-acre guarantee is based. ACTION: The AIP must deny the request to add unit OU (additional acreage) since unit OU is considered to be in a potential loss situation as outlined in the LAM. The insured reports planted acres on the acreage report, but only 75.0 acres are planted and the insured claims that of the acres were actually prevented from planting. The insured claims he/she reported the acres because he/she was planning to plant acres, but then it started raining and the insured was unable to plant the other acres as reported. ACTION: If it is prior to the ARD, both the planted and PP acres can be revised. If it is after the ARD, the acreage report cannot be revised to add the PP acres. However, the planted acres can be revised downward, if at the time the revision is requested, no insured cause of loss affecting the planted acres has occurred, as stated in Para. 1232E(8) above. If it is before the ARD, the acreage report can be revised to add the PP acres and reduce the planted acres; and if it is after the ARD, no PP acres can be added.

Determining share and CLU reporting

Determining shares and CLU reporting
Insurable Share Insurable share is the percentage of interest in the insured crop the owner, owner- operator, tenant or sharecropper has at the time insurance attaches. Landlord: person who owns the land. Tenant: person who landlord rents/leases the land. Owner-operator: person who holds an ownership interest to the land on which the crop is grown. Sharecropper: person who works the land. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share A. Insurable Share An insurable share is the percentage of interest in the insured crop the owner, owner- operator, tenant or sharecropper has at the time insurance attaches. An insurable share of the crop means the insured has a financial risk directly related to the production of the crop (receives all or part of a crop) as an owner-operator, landlord, sharecropper or tenant at the time insurance attaches. A landlord is the person who holds the ownership interest to the land that is leased or rented to another person, called the tenant, on which the crop is grown. The landlord receives a cash payment or a share of the crop as a lease or as rental payment from the tenant. The tenant is the person who holds the possessory interest in the land that is leased/rented from the landlord. The tenant pays the landlord for use of the land by cash or share of the crop. Owner-operator is a person who holds an ownership interest to the land on which the crop is grown. Sharecropper is a person who works the land for a share of the crop produced on the land. To have an insurable share, the tenant or owner-operator must: produce the crop; exercise managerial control relating to producing and marketing the crop (controls what to plant, when to plant, when to till, cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, spray, harvest, market, etc.); carry all or part of the financial risk (including making credit arrangements, if applicable) related to producing the crop; own, rent, or lease the farming equipment, make arrangements to obtain equipment, or hire custom work directly related to the production and harvest of the crop; hire, manage, and be responsible for the payment of the labor; or purchase all inputs (seed, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, etc.)

Insurable Share To have an insurable share, the tenant or owner-operator must: Produce the crop; Exercise managerial control; Carry all or part of the financial risk; Own, rent, or lease the farming equipment; Runs the personnel part of the farming operations; or Purchases all materials for the farming business. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share A. Insurable Share An insurable share is the percentage of interest in the insured crop the owner, owner- operator, tenant or sharecropper has at the time insurance attaches. An insurable share of the crop means the insured has a financial risk directly related to the production of the crop (receives all or part of a crop) as an owner-operator, landlord, sharecropper or tenant at the time insurance attaches. To have an insurable share, the tenant or owner-operator must: produce the crop; exercise managerial control relating to producing and marketing the crop (controls what to plant, when to plant, when to till, cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, spray, harvest, market, etc.); carry all or part of the financial risk (including making credit arrangements, if applicable) related to producing the crop; own, rent, or lease the farming equipment, make arrangements to obtain equipment, or hire custom work directly related to the production and harvest of the crop; hire, manage, and be responsible for the payment of the labor; or purchase all inputs (seed, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, etc.)

Insurable Share To have 100% share, the tenant or owner-operator must meet all the requirements on the previous slide and be accountable for 100% of financial risk. If less than a 100% share, the amount of insurable share is determined by the extent by which the tenant or owner-operator performs the functions stated in the previous slide. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share A. Insurable Share An insurable share is the percentage of interest in the insured crop the owner, owner- operator, tenant or sharecropper has at the time insurance attaches. An insurable share of the crop means the insured has a financial risk directly related to the production of the crop (receives all or part of a crop) as an owner-operator, landlord, sharecropper or tenant at the time insurance attaches. To have a 100 percent insurable share, the tenant or owner-operator must satisfy all the requirements in subparagraph (e), including having 100 percent of the financial risk. If any of the requirements of subparagraph (e) are not satisfied, the tenant or owner-operator will have an insurable share that is less than 100 percent. The insured may be required to provide documentation demonstrating that all the requirements in paragraph (e) have been met. To the extent that any of the functions stated in subparagraph (e) are shared with another entity, the tenant or owner-operator does not have a 100 percent share. If less than a 100 percent share, the amount of insurable share is determined by the extent by which the tenant or owner-operator performs the functions stated in subparagraph (e) or the amount of compensation provided to any other entity to perform the function.

Insurance Share Cover only the share of the crop owned by the person who completed the application unless application is requested for partnership or joint ventures. Share will not extend to any other person having an interest in the crop except as may be specifically allowed in the policy or CAT Endorsement. Interest of spouses, children, or other household members in most cases will be insured under one person and have only one policy number issued. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share A. Insurable Share Insurance share: Insurance will cover only the share of the crop owned by the person who completed the application unless the accepted application clearly indicates insurance is requested for a partnership or joint venture, or is intended to cover the landlord’s or tenant’s share of the crop,. The share will not extend to any other person having an interest in the crop except as may be specifically allowed in the policy or CAT Endorsement. The interest of spouses, children, or other household members in most cases will be insured under one person and have only one policy number issued. Refer to Para. 25 for exceptions that allow spouses and children to have separate policies.

Insurance Share Requirements for landlord or tenant to insure the other’s share: Must provide evidence of party’s approval. Share can’t be insured under another person’s policy for that crop/county. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share A. Insurable Share Requirements for landlord or tenant to insure the other’s share: Evidence of the other party’s approval (lease, power of attorney, etc.) must be provided to the AIP by the SCD and retained. The landlord/tenant’s share cannot be insured under another person’s policy if the landlord/tenant has a policy for that crop/county. For example, a landlord’s share cannot be insured under a tenant’s policy if the landlord has his own individual policy for that crop/county. When the landlord or tenant insures the other’s share: The percentage shares of both persons must be shown in the remarks section of the acreage report or on a Special Report attached to the acreage report. Only one policy is allowed when the person is sharing with multiple landlords/tenants. Each separate share arrangement with different landlords or tenants, qualifies as a basic unit; i.e., this arrangement does not negate the basic unit provisions in the policy that indicates there is a separate basic unit for the acreage shared with each different landlord or tenant.

Insurance Share The insured establishes their insurable share on the acreage report by reporting the share insurable at the time insurance attached. During the final loss adjustment inspection, it is determined that the insured's share differs from what it was at the time insurance attached, the insured's share will be the lesser of what: It was at the time insurance attached, or AIP determines to be the share at the earlier of: Time of loss, or Beginning of harvest of the unit, unless excepted by the specific crop policy. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share A. Insurable Share The insured establishes their insurable share on the acreage report by reporting the share insurable at the time insurance attached. However, only for the purpose of determining the amount of indemnity: If, during the final loss adjustment inspection, it is determined that the insured's share differs from what it was at the time insurance attached, the insured's share will be the lesser of what: it was at the time insurance attached, or the AIP determines to be the share at the earlier of: the time of loss, or the beginning of harvest of the unit, unless excepted by the specific crop policy.

Share Arrangements 100% Crop Share (Cash Lease) Include 100% share as owner/operator and/or land that is rented for cash, a fixed commodity payment, or any consideration other than a share in the crop. A lease that provides for EITHER a minimum payment or a crop share is considered a cash lease. Contain a cash consideration with an undetermined crop share percentage at the time coverage begins. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share B. Share Arrangements (Written or Verbal) 100 percent crop share (Cash Lease) 100 percent crop shares include 100 percent share as owner/operator and/or land that is rented for cash, a fixed commodity payment, or any consideration other than a share in the crop. A lease that provides for EITHER a minimum payment (such as a specified amount of cash, bushels, pounds, etc.) OR a crop share is considered a cash lease (e.g., lease provides for a 50/50 crop share or $100 dollars, whichever is greater). A lease that contains a crop share but the percentage is not a fixed amount at the time coverage begins is considered a cash lease. Such leases may contain a cash consideration with an undetermined crop share percentage at the time coverage begins.

Share Arrangements Crop Share (Crop Share Lease) In order to have a crop share, the crop share percentage must be specified at the time coverage begins and cannot change based on the amount of production harvested. Written or verbal lease agreements containing provisions for BOTH a minimum payment AND a crop share is considered a crop share lease. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share B. Share Arrangements (Written or Verbal) Crop Share (Crop Share Lease) In order to have a crop share, the crop share percentage must be specified at the time coverage begins and cannot change based on the amount of production harvested. Refer to example 4 and 8 in subparagraph C below. Written or verbal lease agreements containing provisions for BOTH a minimum payment (such as a specified amount of cash, bushels, pounds, etc.) AND a crop share is considered a crop share lease.

Share Arrangements Examples The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord 1/3 of all the crops produced on the premises and to guarantee that the landlord's share of the crops will average $35 an acre. In the event that the landlord's share of the crops is worth less than $35 an acre, the tenant will pay the difference in cash to the landlord. The agreement is a crop share. The insured's share is 2/3 of the crop. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share C. Share Arrangement Examples Example 1: The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord 1/3 of the crop in return for farming the land. The agreement is a crop share. The insured's share is 2/3 of the crop. Example 2: The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord 1/3 of all the crops produced on the premises and to guarantee that the landlord's share of the crops will average $35 an acre. In the event that the landlord's share of the crops is worth less than $35 an acre, the tenant will pay the difference in cash to the landlord. Example 3: The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord $50 per acre cash and 1/4 of the crop in return for farming the land. The insured's share is 3/4 of the crop. We do not convert the $50 per acre cash payment to a share basis.

Share Arrangements Examples The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord $50 per acre cash and 1/3 of all the bushels in excess of 60 bushels per acre. (Average yields for the area are usually around bushels.) The agreement is a cash lease. The insured's share is 100 percent. The bushels in excess of the 60 bushels per acre are a "bonus" above and beyond the insured crop. The share percentage of the entire crop cannot be determined at the time coverage begins since it is dependent on how many bushels in excess of 60 bushels will be produced. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share C. Share Arrangement Examples Example 4: The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord $50 per acre cash and 1/3 of all the bushels in excess of 60 bushels per acre. (Average yields for the area are usually around bushels.) The agreement is a cash lease. The insured's share is 100 percent. The bushels in excess of the 60 bushels per acre are a "bonus" above and beyond the insured crop. The share percentage of the entire crop cannot be determined at the time coverage begins since it is dependent on how many bushels in excess of 60 bushels will be produced. Example 5: The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord $50 per acre cash and 10 bushels per acre. The insured's share is 100 percent. We do not convert the 10 bushels to a percentage share. In this scenario the tenant will pay the landlord a fixed amount, cash ($50) and commodity (10 bushels per acre). Example 6: The tenant (insured) agrees to give the landlord 25¢ for every bushel of peaches harvested. The insured's share is 100 percent. Because there is no agreement for a set share percentage of the crop at the time coverage begins, the insured's share must be considered a cash lease.

Share Arrangements Examples The tenant’s (insured’s) lease agreement states that the tenant will receive the first 85 bushels per acre of corn produced. Of any bushels in excess of 85 bushels per acre, the tenant will receive 60 percent and the landlord will receive 40 percent. The insured’s guarantee is 85 bushels and is based on the highest level of coverage that can be elected. The agreement is a cash lease. The insured’s share is 100 percent. Since the insured receives the first 85 bushels and this amount is the insured’s guarantee, 85 bushels is the maximum amount that could be insured under the policy. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share C. Share Arrangement Examples Example 7: The tenant (insured) agrees to pay the landlord $25 per acre OR 1/4 of the crop, whichever is greater. The agreement is a cash lease. The insured's share is 100 percent. Since the lease contains an either/or type arrangement, the share cannot be considered a fixed element of the lease. Example 8: The tenant’s (insured’s) lease agreement states that the tenant will receive the first 85 bushels per acre of corn produced. Of any bushels in excess of 85 bushels per acre, the tenant will receive 60 percent and the landlord will receive 40 percent. The insured’s guarantee is 85 bushels and is based on the highest level of coverage that can be elected. The insured’s share is 100 percent. Since the insured receives the first 85 bushels and this amount is the insured’s guarantee, 85 bushels is the maximum amount that could be insured under the policy

Spousal Share Individual (spouses) married couples are considered to be an individual person type, thus allowing only one policy with only one share shown for both on the acreage report, even when: FSA recognizes a married couple who shares in the same farming operation as "two persons" for the purpose of farm program payment limitations and requires only one policy to participate in FSA programs to be signed by the married couple. Such married couples are considered to be a spousal /married individual for crop insurance purposes. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1211 Determining Insurable Share E. Spousal Shares Generally, spouses share in the same farming operation(s). Individual (spouses) married couples are considered to be an individual person type, thus allowing only one policy with only one share shown for both on the acreage report, even when: FSA recognizes a married couple who shares in the same farming operation as "two persons" for the purpose of farm program payment limitations and requires only one policy to participate in FSA programs to be signed by the married couple. Such married couples are considered to be a spousal /married individual for crop insurance purposes. Refer to Para. 251.

Reporting Land IDs on Acreage Report For an acreage report to be acceptable, insureds are required to report the land identifier for the acreage being reported. The land identifier reported by the producer may be a legal description or a FSA Farm/Tract/Field number depending on the requirements for acreage reporting. General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1212 Reporting Land Identifiers on Acreage Reports For an acreage report to be acceptable, insureds are required to report the land identifier for the acreage being reported. The land identifier reported by the producer may be a legal description (e.g., section, township and range) or a FSA Farm/Tract/Field number depending on the requirements for acreage reporting. An insured’s FSA Farm/Tract/Field Number represent the digitized USDA FSA CLU. AIPs receive FSA CLU shape files from RMA. AIPs, RMA and other USDA agencies have been working toward reporting acreage by CLU, or other identifiers as provided in Appendix III, through AIP collection of map-based acreage reports; collection of FSA Farm/Tract/Field Number directly from the insured; or through AIPs reporting FSA CLUs applicable to the reported acreage. This collection facilitates the RMA CLU Acreage Reporting Plan to collect acreage reports on a digitized field basis to facilitate the Acreage Crop Reporting Streamlining Initiative for USDA. A. Requirements for Farm/Tract/Field Number Reporting by Insureds Insureds are required to provide Farm/Tract/Field Number(s) for acreage being reported for: acreage insured under a WA, if required by the WA, as required by the RO; units containing acreage emerging from CRP the initial year of planting and all subsequent crop years thereafter, see CIH Para. 1463B; units containing acreage being planted the initial year of new breaking and all subsequent crop years thereafter, see CIH Para. 1464A(1)(a); units containing native sod acreage the initial year of planting and all subsequent crop years thereafter; units are based on FSA FN (with Tract/Field Number optional); or ARPI and STAX, when the FSA Farm/Tract/Field Number is available from FSA.

Acreage Determining Source General Standards Handbook– Part 12 General Acreage Reporting Requirements Section 2 Determining Shares and CLU Reporting 1213 Reporting Acreage Determination Source on Acreage Reports The method for determining the acres reported must identify whether acreage is reported by a digitized field boundary or other source. Exception: For the 2016 crop year, the acreage determination source is a non-substantive field on the acreage report and AIP reporting to RMA is optional. In subsequent crop years, the acreage determination source may be a substantive field on the acreage report and reporting may be required. The acreage determination source is reported for each line of the acreage report since methods of reporting may vary by field.

Updating land ids procedures

land ids changes UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP
To enable users to add Land IDs easily within the System, a new popup, Manage Land IDs, was added. Land ID Changes This section discusses the new Manage Land IDs popup, the five entry points for opening the Manage Land IDs popup, and these additional tasks: Adding a Land ID, Designating a Primary Land ID, Editing a Land ID, and Deleting a Land ID. UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP To enable users to add Land IDs easily within the System, a new popup, Manage Land IDs, was added. The following two screenshots break down its different components.

Detail Line Header Add New Land ID row Existing Land ID rows UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP Policy header: Displays the reinsurance year of the policy, policy number, grower name, grower tax ID (masked), and grower entity type. Detail Line header: Displays the Policy State Abbreviation and Code, Policy County Name and Code, Crop Name and Code, Crop Plan and Code, Coverage Level, Price Election Percent, Unit Number (includes Basic Unit#, Optional Unit #, Procedure #, and Procedure Code—if applicable); Type and Code, Practice and Code, and Grower Share Percent. Add New Land ID row: Allows a user to add a new Land ID to the selected detail line (shown in the Detail Line header). Existing Land ID rows: Displays all Land IDs that are attached to the selected detail line. Land IDs shown below the first row can be deleted, designated as the Primary Land ID, edited, and associated with a Planted Field(s).

land IDs changes UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP Land IDs
Primary Land ID indicator Delete Button Place Name/Other Land ID field UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP Land IDs: The FSN and Tract fields and the Sec/Twn/Rng dropdown make up the Land IDs for the detail line. The FSN and Tract fields allow a user to enter or edit the FSN and Tract number, respectively, for the Land ID, using up to 7 characters for each. The Sec/Twn/Rng dropdown allows for both text entry and selection from the dropdown. The dropdown is populated with valid Section/Township/Range combinations found for the FSN or FSN and Tract applied to the Land ID record. Primary Land ID indicator: Indicates that the Land ID displayed in the corresponding row is the Primary Land ID for the detail line. This is the default Land ID displayed on various pages and forms found in the System. Only one Land ID per detail line can be designated as the Primary Land ID. By default, the first Land ID record applied to the detail line is designated as the primary; however, the user can change the Primary Land ID as needed. See “Designating a Primary Land ID” on page 10. Delete button ( ): Deletes, when clicked, the corresponding Land ID from the detail line. However, a popup will prompt the user to confirm the deletion if there are also Planted Fields associated with the selected Land ID. Users may delete ALL Land IDs for the detail line by selecting the delete icon in the column heading. A confirmation of the delete will be required. Place Name/Other Land ID field: Allows a user to enter a Place Name and/or Other Land ID (such as those used in areas that are not part of the Public Land Survey System [PLSS]) for the corresponding Land ID record

land IDs changes UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP HR Code dropdown
Validation link Planted Fields link UNDERSTANDING THE NEW POPUP HR Code dropdown: Displays, if applicable, the list of the High Risk (HR) Codes applicable to the Land ID record. The System will determine the code at Save of a Land ID record based on Section/Township/Range/County/Crop/Type/Practice/Map Area. When necessary, a user will be allowed to override the default High Risk Code for the Land ID. Generally, an override is only required when the System determines that a Land ID is located in a Partial High Risk Area. The valid HR Codes are: C: Indicates the Land ID is fully located within the map area (may or may not be High Risk), H: Indicates the Land ID is completely located in a High Risk Map Area, P: Indicates the Land ID is located in a Partial High Risk Area, or V: Indicates the Land ID has been verified to not be located in a High Risk Map Area. Validation link: After a user enters a new FSN, or FSN/Tract, and/or Section/Township/Range, the System automatically validates that data against data provided by the RMA via the CLU Web Service. If the FSN or FSN/Tract and/or Section/Township/Range are valid, a green checkmark () appears in the Validate column for the corresponding Land ID. If the System cannot validate the Land ID, a red X () appears instead. A user may choose to manually validate each Land ID individually or all Land IDs attached to the detail line at once by clicking on the Validate link in the column heading. To learn why a Land ID could not be validated, hover over the validation icon to view the explanation as a tooltip. Planted Fields link: Opens the Planted Fields grid to the right of the Land ID grid so that Planted Fields can be associated with the Land ID.

From one of the access points shown in “Accessing the Manage Land IDs Popup” on page 3, open the Manage Land IDs popup for the detail line you need to add a Land ID to.

ADDING A land IDs In the first row, enter an FSN or an FSN/Tract and/or Section/Township/Range combination. In the FSN and Tract fields, type the FSN and Tract for the Land ID. In the first row, enter an FSN or an FSN/Tract and/or Section/Township/Range combination. In the FSN and Tract fields, type the FSN and Tract for the Land ID. An FSN is required if a Tract is provided. Upon tabbing out of the Tract field, the Sec/Twp/Rng dropdown populates with valid Section/Township/Range combinations for the FSN or FSN/Tract provided.

ADDING A land IDs In the first row, enter an FSN or an FSN/Tract and/or Section/Township/Range combination. THE SEC/TWP/RNG field. In the first row, enter an FSN or an FSN/Tract and/or Section/Township/Range combination. In the Sec/Twp/Rng field, either select a Section/Township/Range combination from the dropdown or key one manually. NOTE: Sec/Twp/Rng must be in SSS/TTTd/RRRd format, where “S” is Section, “T” is Township, “R” is Range, and “d” is Direction. As a reminder, the Township must be designated as “N” (North) or “S” (South), and the Range must be either “E” (East) or “W” (West). For example, if the user enters “9 24n 24e”, the System converts this entry to “(009) 024N 024E”. B

ADDING A land IDs Reason for an Invalid Land ID
Once the FSN or FSN/Tract and/or Section/Township/Range has been entered, the System checks the Land ID against internal Land ID Tables using the CLU Web Service. If the Land ID is valid, a green checkmark appears in the Validate column for the corresponding Land ID. If the System cannot validate the Land ID, a red X appears instead. To learn why a Land ID could not be validated, hover over the validation icon to view the explanation as a tooltip. (The System will still allow the Land ID to be saved without validation since there is sometimes a lapse in receiving information from the RMA.)

ADDING A land IDs TIP: At any time, a user can manually validate a Land ID by clicking the [Validate] link in the corresponding row. To manually validate ALL Land IDs displayed in the Manage Land IDs popup, click the [Validate] column label. NOTE: If a Land ID that was once valid () becomes invalid () for some reason (e.g., a reconstituted FSN), the Land ID remains attached to the detail line until a user manually deletes it.

ADDING A land IDs Place Name/Other Land ID column
HR Code dropdown in this first row is disabled. Fields column is empty until the Land ID is saved. If applicable, in the Place Name/Other Land ID column, using up to 50 characters in each field, type a Place Name in the top field and an “other” Land ID in the bottom field. The Other Land ID is typically used in those areas that are not part of the PLSS, as with Spanish Land Grants. The HR Code dropdown in this first row is disabled. When you save a new Land ID containing a Section/Township/Range, the System will determine the High Risk (HR) Code. (Once the Land ID is saved and added to the rows below, you can override the HR Code. See “Editing a Land ID” on page 10 for overriding the code.) Continue to step 5. The Fields column is empty until the Land ID is saved. Skip this step. Planted Fields are explained on page 12 of the Land ID Updates manual.

Add New Field Row Select Box Field PLANTED FIELD CHANGES The new CLU grid is made up of several components: Total Unit Acres: Displays the value for the Total Unit Acres from the MPCI Detail Line page. Total CLU Acres: Displays the sum of all Reported Acre values from each Planted Field record attached to all Land IDs for the detail line. This value updates in real-time each time a Reported Acres value is changed on a selected field record. Add New Field row: Allows a user to manually add a new Planted Field to the CLU grid. Select box: Allows a user to select a Planted Field to associate with a Land ID by marking the checkbox. Clearing the checkbox un-associates the Planted Field. Field: The System validates the Land ID using a CLU Web Service and displays any fields associated with the Land ID. If an FSN exists with no Tract, only the fields for the FSN display; if an FSN/Tract combination exists, only the fields for the FSN and Tract display. If no fields are returned by the CLU Web Service for the selected Land ID, a user can manually add Fields (see “c” above). Manually-added fields are indicated with an asterisk (*) next to the field number. To view the Tract number, hover over the Field number.

Planted field changes Sub Field CLU Acres Reported Acres Planted Date
Acre Type dropdown View Map Link PLANTED FIELD CHANGES The new CLU grid is made up of several components: Sub Field: Displays, if applicable, a Sub Field number for each field. Sub Fields are also brought over by the CLU Web Service but can also be manually created. CLU Acres: Displays the CLU Acres for each field found by the CLU Web Service. When manually adding a field, a user can also specify this value. Reported Acres: Allows a user to enter a Reported Acre value for each field being associated with the Land ID record. When fields aren’t selected for association, this field defaults to blank. When a field is selected, the Reported Acres value is required, and the System defaults to the CLU Acre value provided by the CLU Web Service. A user is allowed to modify the Reported Acre value. If the CLU Acre value was manually entered, this value does not default to the CLU Acre value and must also be manually entered by the user. If the Planted Field row is unselected, any value in the Reported Acres field is removed at Save. Planted Date: Allows a user to specify a plant date for the Reported Acres when a field is selected to be associated with the Land ID. Acre Type dropdown: Allows a user to apply an Acreage Type (e.g., New Breaking or CRP) to each Planted Field associated with the Land ID record. Hovering over the Acre Type column label displays a detailed description for each Acre Type value in the dropdown. View Map link: Opens a map displaying all fields for the FSN/Tract from the Land ID record. On the map, selected fields are shaded darker than those not selected. The user can zoom in and out, apply layers, and click to select the planted fields to associate with the Land ID.
