Agricultural producers are accustomed to adjusting to difficult weather. If particularly bad weather strikes, ruined crops can devastate farm budgets.
Insurance helps producers manage their risk of crop losses caused by hail, spring frost, excessive rain, flooding, drought, etc. The benefits of buying production insurance coverage are:
These crops are insurable and have different coverage options:
Representatives will help create an insurance package that suits a variety of operations and financial situations.
Each crop has a different application and payment deadline. Allow enough time before the deadline to gather the required information and send the completed schedules to the production insurance office.
Insurance coverage will be based on the information provided.
To renew an insurance policy, make an appointment with a Production Insurance representative before the application deadline and be prepared to declare crops, land and details of the farm operation.
If damage is suspected, file a notice of loss (NOL) immediately. Each time there is suspected crop damage, a NOL must be filed. File a notice of loss (PDF, 390KB)
Phone, fax, email, mail or submit the NOL to the closest production insurance office. Please contact us if you haven’t received a confirmation letter within two weeks of submission.
An insurance adjustor will then inspect the crop to determine the loss. It’s important to not put the crop to another use (like grazing, tilling under, removing, etc.) until an adjustor has visited the farm operation.
