Seeded Acreage Reports Due Next Week

Jun 20, 2016

Monday, June 20 is the seeding deadline on full crop insurance coverage for wheat, barley, buckwheat, oats, flax, and Polish-type canola. Deadlines for most other crops in Manitoba came and went by late May to early June.

Additionally, David van Deynze of Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation says seeded acreage reports are due by June 30.

"If you don't submit your seeded acreage report for the June 30 deadline, first and foremost there's a straight up $100 penalty that's added to your account," he says, "and secondly, when we don't get a seeded acreage report, we send an adjuster out to your farm to essentially fill out that work for you. So there's a lot of field inspections and a lot of work involved with that, so the producer ultimately gets billed for the cost associated with the adjuster going out to the farm."
