Crop Hail Insurance Policies
Hail storm damage can be partial or total. Regardless of the extent of the damage, it is always costly and all the good farming practices in the world won't prevent it. Crop hail insurance provides acre-by-acre protection up to the actual cash value of your crop, thereby protecting your investment and your future.
How do I decide which crop hail coverage to purchase?
Hail is a disaster that completely destroys part of your crop and leaves the rest undamaged. Acreage and loss of crop yield due to hail may be less than your federal crop insurance policy's deductible or may not reduce your yield enough for a revenue protection insurance policy to protect your profits. Crop hail insurance can fill that gap.
While federal crop policies protect you against losses severe enough to significantly reduce the yield per insured unit, crop hail insurance gives you acre-by-acre protection up to the actual cash value of the crop. Crop hail is particularly important for those with area plan policies such as ARP, ARP-HPE, or AYP that expose individuals to hail losses.
You can purchase additional crop hail insurance coverage during the growing season (prior to damage) to protect additional profits from large crop yields or higher-than-usual crop values. Even if your hail damage frequency is low, remember that crop hail coverage is rated for your area, and there are various deductibles to meet your budget. This is an inexpensive way to protect against hail damage.
