Sidwell Insurance

Crop Hail and Crop Fire

You know that five minutes of hail can wipe out an entire years income. The Crop Hail policy through our agency provides protection against loss to the crop from hail, in ADDITION to the coverage that is provided on your MPCI Policy. This policy actually supplements the coverage provided by an MPCI policy providing coverage on an acre by acre basis. You are not required to add Crop Hail on all your acres in a county, like MPCI, but instead you can pick the farms/units in which you would like to add the additional protection.

Your MPCI policy does cover you for Crop Hail, however many times there is Top End exposure that is left unprotected with Multi-Peril Crop Insurance. You can cover this exposure with Crop Hail.

Crop Hail Insurance will be slightly different for each company. Rates and Coverage Details can vary by company for each crop, so it is important you ask questions when purchasing Crop Hail.
