Production Reporting Reminders
NAU Country is here to support you with Production Reporting! 
We’ve successfully navigated the 2025 spring Sales Closing Season, and now it’s time to focus on completing the final stages of Production Reporting! Below are some essential reminders related to Insured Production Reporting (IPR), RMA Deadlines, option details, and system tools to ensure a smooth process. We also offer a full Agent Tips and Tricks Production Reporting Training Suite that can assist you with step-by-step instructions for specific scenarios.
As always, don't hesitate to reach out to your NAU Country Underwriter or Marketing Representative if you have any questions!
2024 Insured Production Reporting (IPR) Reminders
Note: IPR was previously referred to as 'Same Year Production Reporting (SYPR)' or 'Current Year Production Reporting (CYPR)'.
- Requirement for All Acreage: IPR is required for both insurable and uninsurable acreage.
- Data Entry: Must be keyed into the system, not simply written on the production report.
- Signature Requirement: The IPR must be signed by the Insured Production Reporting Date (IPRD) listed in the Actuarial.
- Assigned Yields: Assigned Yields apply for 2025 if not completed by the IPRD.
Policy Transfers and IPR Requirements
When transferring a policy to a new Agent or Approved Insurance Provider (AIP), the insured must still submit their current year production by the IPRD to their original AIP.
- Submission Deadline: For 2024 and beyond, the insured must submit IPR to their previous AIP.
- Assistance from the New Agent: The new agent can help the insured provide the production data to the previous AIP.
- Failure to Submit: If the 2024 IPR is not submitted to the prior AIP, assigned yields will apply for 2025.
Reporting Issues: Incorrect Acreage or Crop Reporting
There are situations where an insured reported acres on the incorrect unit or reported acres on the incorrect crop, and we are unable to revise the acres on the 2024 Acreage Report. It is important that you do not zero out any acres when keying in the ‘Current Year APH’ due to reporting acres on the incorrect unit or reported acres on the incorrect crop.
For these situations, we request that you send a copy of the signed Production Report to your NAU Country Underwriter to verify the acres and production. The underwriter will key the acres and production as required in EASYwriter Pro®.
Details on IPR and Why it Matters
The Insured Production Reporting requirements apply to Revenue Protection (RP), Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion (RP-HPE), Yield Protection (YP), Actual Revenue History (ARH), and Actual Production History (APH) plans.
The concept around Insured Production Reporting is to match true production up to reported acreage for the current year. This is production straight from the Production Report at harvest time. Prior to this change, when there was a change to how units were set up between crop years, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) was unable to tie the production back to the acres in the prior year. RMA is having us close out the year by reporting production to match how the acres were reported.
