Crop & Livestock

Crop and Livestock Insurance are essential tools for farmers and ranchers to protect themselves against the financial risks associated with losses due to unforeseen events. These insurance policies cover a wide range of perils that can harm crops and livestock, ensuring that farmers can continue operating their businesses even in the face of adversity.

Crop Insurance typically covers losses caused by perils such as drought, flood, hail, wind, frost, pests, and diseases. The coverage provided by crop insurance policies can vary depending on the specific policy and insurance provider. In order to obtain Crop Insurance coverage, farmers are required to provide certain underwriting information, including details about the type of crops being grown, acreage, planting and harvest dates, historical production data, and location of the farm.

On the other hand, Livestock Insurance offers protection against perils such as disease outbreaks, accidents, theft, and natural disasters. The coverage provided by Livestock Insurance policies may include coverage for both individual animals and herds. To obtain Livestock Insurance coverage, ranchers are required to provide underwriting information such as the type and number of animals being insured, their age and health condition, and the location of the ranch.
