At Hitchings Insurance, we understand the dedication that goes into nurturing a crop. From preparing the soil to the joy of a bountiful harvest, every step is a testament to your hard work and expertise. But naturally, farming also carries risks. Unpredictable weather, pests, and market fluctuations can threaten your livelihood. That’s where Crop Insurance comes in – a vital tool to protect your crops and secure your future.

Standard Insurance vs. Crop Insurance: Understanding the Difference

While a farm owner’s policy might offer some basic protection for your farmhouse, it falls short when it comes to safeguarding your crops. Crop Insurance, specifically designed for agricultural needs, provides comprehensive coverage against a wide range of threats:

• Adverse Weather: Hailstorms, floods, droughts – these natural events can devastate crops in a matter of hours. Crop Insurance allows you to customize coverage to protect your harvest against the unpredictable forces of nature.
• Yield Losses: Even without a complete wipeout, harsh weather or unexpected pests can significantly reduce your yield. Crop insurance can help offset financial losses due to these factors, ensuring you receive a payout based on pre-determined coverage levels.
• Market Fluctuations: The agricultural market is notoriously fickle. Crop Revenue Insurance can protect you against unexpected price drops.

Benefits Beyond Basic Coverage

Hitchings Insurance goes beyond just offering basic crop protection. We understand the unique challenges faced by farmers and provide additional benefits:

• Flexible Coverage Options: Our agents will work with you to understand your specific crops, risks, and budget to create a customized policy that provides the right level of protection.
• Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI): This federally subsidized program offers comprehensive coverage against a variety of perils, making it a valuable option for many farmers.
• Fire Policy- During dry conditions there is an increased concern for fields catching fire in the Midwest. You may consider purchasing fire coverage on fields that have a great risk of catching fire: fields next to a highway where drivers may toss a cigarette, or next to a railroad where the sparks from an engine could start a brush fire.
• Risk Management Tools: Hitchings Insurance can connect you with resources and tools to help you proactively manage risks and minimize potential losses.
