Certify All Acres Accurately

With the July 15 acreage reporting deadline approaching, farmers are urged to file timely and accurate crop acreage reports with the USDA. These reports are critical for maintaining eligibility in crop insurance, disaster assistance, and other safety net programs. Countryside Insurance Agency President Jennifer Otteson advises farmers to review reports before certification. “I always encourage the guys to come in after they get their maps filled out before they actually certified,” said Otteson. “Just so we can review everything together, especially if they have any prevented planting and different things.” Countryside Insurance is at Buxton, North Dakota
