RMA Spring Acreage Reporting Date

Brian D. Frieden, Director of the Risk Management Agency’s Springfield Regional Office, reminds producers to report 2012 spring crop acreage to their insurance agent by July 15.

Illinois crops include: spring cabbage, corn, grain sorghum, green peas, hybrid corn seed, spring oats, perennial forage, popcorn, processing beans, processing pumpkins, soybeans and sweet corn.

With the severe weather conditions this year, producers are also encouraged to contact their crop insurance agent if they have concerns about a crop loss.
