Harvest 2023: things to know this season

Harvested Production Report

The Harvested Production Report (HPR) is a key part of post-harvest reporting. This report, which must be filed by October 15 for perennial crop insurance and November 15 for annual crop insurance, gives the first sign if the client is in a production shortfall and eligible for coverage.

To speed up the review and calculation of losses, clients are encouraged to:

  • submit their HPR as soon as possible after finishing harvest HPR by logging into their AFSC Connect account (HPRs may also be submitted by email, fax, mail or in person at their local AFSC office). To help with this, clients may want to take an acceptable grain sample to a primary or terminal elevator for accurate weight, grade and dockage.
  • sign up for direct deposit by logging into their AFSC Connect account.
