Tips from Agricorp for easy reporting

It’s a busy time of year for farmers across Ontario, with one year wrapping up and a new one in full swing. Producers have secured their ideal risk management coverage and now they’re spending long days in the field planting crops.​

An important part of this busy season is reporting information to keep their program coverage up to date.

There are ways to make reporting easier during such a busy time:​​

TipBenefit
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.

It helps to beat the rush if reporting by phone.

Report online

Livestock sales for the Risk Management Program (RMP), year-end information for AgriStability, and planted acres for Production Insurance can all be submitted by logging in at agricorp.com from anywhere at any time.

Reporting acres for Production Insurance can also be completed without logging in.

Online reporting provides built-in prompts to help producers report correctly, reducing time spent on follow up.

No waiting on the phone at busiest time of year for the call centre.

Have Agricorp ID handy

This one identifier is the key to all of a producer's program information.
