Producers in Ontario are now reporting their information for
Production Insurance, AgriStability and RMP for livestock to keep their
coverage up to date. Keeping their information current means Agricorp is ready
to help producers when they need it.
A number of reporting deadlines are just around the corner. By June 30, producers need to report their planted acres for Production Insurance and their year-end information for AgriStability. Livestock producers also need to report their Q2 and semi-annual sales by July 31.
Agricorp understands that it is a busy time for producers, and reporting their information is just another task on top of everything they do to run their business. Here are ways to make reporting easier:
Don’t wait for the deadline
|
Deadlines are simply the last day to get things done, but reporting can be crossed off the to-do list as soon as the information is available.
Reporting deadlines are necessary so files are up to date and producers get the service they need, when they need it.
Reporting information while it’s fresh makes it easier to remember the details.
Early reporting means earlier processing and can help beat the rush if reporting by phone.
