Starting in 2014, It is required that all county policies (ARP, ARP HPE, and AYP) submit production records. It is not necessary to go back and collect any production information for previous years as long as the policyholder remains in a county policy.
The production that is submitted will not be used to calculate a claim, but starting in 2020, the information you provide may be used to determine the final county yield/revenue for your county.
If a policyholders is unable to submit their production by the deadline (8/31 for wheat and 2/15 for corn and soybeans), their Policy Protection Factor will automatically be reduced.
