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.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
