Crop Reporting Dates Loom

Now that warmer weather is here, so too are first plant dates for crop insurance. “It varies a little bit by what county you’re in,” said Countryside Insurance Agency President Jennifer Otteson. “For some, like the sugarbeet early planning date for many counties is April 11th. For corn and canola, that is April 15th for a lot of the other counties.” The reporting deadline is coming up on April 29. “All their production has to be reported by that date and any added land is always recommended to let your agent know so you can get all those fields added.”
