Annual Forage: This ticket implemented some updates to the Annual Forage Acreage Report to support the 2024 Handbook; starting in 2024 Annual Forage changes from 4 to 12 Growing Seasons. These changes support the 2024 commodity updates for Annual Forage; the changes also improve the gathering of the data from the insured when keying it into the System.

Another improvement made with this ticket is the printing of the data when the form is being printed pre-filled. The Print Option that is highlighted below is going to be removed. This reduces the number of clicks for a user and the amount of data that needs to be handwritten on the form when they are printing the form for a 2024 policy with no detail lines. The form is going to print based on what has been set up on the Coverage page instead of having to select the the Print Option to have the form print like that.

Reminder for users to use the “Crops” dropdown on the Print menus to select which Growing Season(s) that are reporting acres; this will help reduce the number of unnecessary pages printing since the default on the Print menu is to print all coverages.

Added logic to the form to only print the Native Sod Statement for the states it is required. On a blank or pre-headed with Agency Only the Statement will print since we do not know what Policy State the policy will have. Native Sod is only applicable in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Added a duplex print option for the form, in alpha with the other Print Options. The default will be unchecked. This Print Option will be available for all report styles.

Removed the "Include a detail line..." Print Option for all years and changed the form functionality to print whatever data is entered when the form is printed with a pre-filled report style.

For 2024+, when printing with a pre-filled report style, the units for the same County / Grid ID / Share should print in one Section.

For 2024+, Print Sort order - all ascending: 1. County name, 2. Growing Season, 3. Grid ID, 4. Share.

For 2024+, Crop Summary - Index Interval column - For 2024 the label is to change to Growing Season. When this ticket rolls out, the Index Interval will continue to print in this field until Ticket #147402 is implemented in a future release.

For 2024+, Crop Summary - Percent of Value column - removed column and data.

Acreage Info - Growing Season - For 2024+, when the form is printing pre-filled printing the Growing Season plus the Growing Season code in parenthesis associated with the Detail Line.

Acreage Info - Shareholder - When the form is printing pre-filled, if there is the Transfer of Right to Indemnity printing the TOC name then a space then "(TOC)". If there is a Landlord/Tenant printing “LLT” in parenthesis after the Landlord / Tenant name.

10.

Acreage Info - Percent of Value column - For 2024+, when the form is printing pre-filled, printing the Percent of Value data for the unit.

11.

Updated revision date to be "06-2023".

The PASS Status Report included the release of new P11 exhibits and premium calculations to the COMMENT folder. These Exhibits (P11_11, P11_14, and P11_16) confirmed that the SE Cottonseed premium calculation for SCO, ECO, and HIP "parent" lines will reflect the price election percent of the respective SCO, ECO, or HIP coverage. This has been implemented in the System for the 2023+ RYs. In previous RYs, RMA reversed their clarification to always default the SE premium calculation at 100% when associated with SCO, ECO, or HIP coverages with less than a 100% Price Election.	148588
