Crop Hail Insurance

Crop Hail Insurance Overview

Understanding Hail and Wind Insurance

Hail and Wind insurance provides the grower protection against yield reduction caused by hail and/or fire. Other coverages available include transit, vandalism, lightning, fire department service charge and/or stored grain. Optional endorsements are available for wind damage and/or replant coverage.

Crop Hail coverage gives you acre by acre protection up to the actual cash value of your crop. A Crop Hail policy expands protection by covering perils otherwise not included in most traditional crop insurance policies. There are many Crop Hail policy options for individual coverage or that work with your Federal crop policy for total risk management protection.
