Precision Crop Reporting

Records and Reporting with Confidence in Every Acre
We offer the Precision Crop Reporting for better crop and claims reporting. We want to stay on top of today's technology and provide our customers with the most up-to-date technology services available.
- Reduced Premium by only insuring the acres where the seeder/planter went.

- Have a running history in the program to look back at acres, yield, and any work done in the field. With Precision RMA reviews, we only need to go back to the previous year, instead of 3 years.

Precision crop reporting uses your digital planting data, field maps, and records to streamline required reporting for crop insurance. Bowerman Insurance helps you organize, verify, and submit what's needed-so you spend less time on forms and more on your operation.
