Conservation Compliance: TFS #119473 recently implemented a new webservice tool located in the Tools menu allowing users with the System Function: Policy > Conservation Compliance Look-Up > "Access" the ability to do a simple search to identify growers who may be considered out of compliance prior to waiting for transmission logic to go through. This is a real-time lookup that is hooked up to RMA to perform this search.

When the page was first implemented, the Refresh button was not included in functionality, so if users wanted to do multiple searches, they had to clear fields and/or type over previous entries. With this ticket we have added a Refresh button that will clear out all of the previous entries and change the fields back to the default values.

Livestock: The FCIC Board of Directors approved revisions to the Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) plan of insurance under section 508(h) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act on May 19, 2022 and April 19, 2023. LGM changes include clarified policy terms (i.e., removed obsolete terms, added a definition for “declared share” to clarify insurable interest, converted the “approved target marketings” and “target marketings report” to “cumulative target marketings” and “specific coverage endorsement”, respectively).

• In the form title, “Target Marketings” was updated to “Specific Coverage Endorsement (SCE)”.
• In the page 1 header, "Reinsurance Year" was updated to "Crop Year" for all years.

Annual Forage: This ticket cleaned up some items related to the #131866 in the 15.065 Release and #149653 in the 15.070 Release surrounding the recent changes made to accommodate Annual Forage updates made for the 2024+ RYs. Make sure to use the Crops dropdown on the Print menus to select the right 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.

• Removed some lines from the Commodity Detail section when the form is printing with lines and added more space under the land section to give more handwriting space.
• Only prints acres if there is an AR Sign Date exists.
• Prints more Commodity Lines if there is not Commodity Line data entered into the System, so that users can fill out by hand.
• Coverage are not doubled in the Acreage Detail Line Section when there are no Detail Lines set up yet.

Annual Forage: Previously, when a user selected one of the canceled Coverage Statuses, the Percent of Value was not zeroed out, which was confusing to users who are trying to visually sum the Percents of Value on active coverages. With this ticket, the Percent of Value is now resetting to 0% when a detail line is set to a canceled status (prior to save of the coverage).
