Crop Talk

Insurance Specialist
I hope the spring planting is going well in your area. As always,
the weather varies so much in our territory. The cool and wet conditions have been a challenge this year and this brings me to a very important topic—REPORTING OF CLAIMS.
Frontier Farm Credit has made this reporting process as easy as possible with the implementation of our toll-free telephone number. 1-888-598-8329 is answered 24/7 by one of our Crop Insurance Specialists to assist you with all claims reporting and crop insurance questions.
The Risk Management Agency (RMA) has been the “watch dog” of the Multi-Peril Crop Insurance Program for many years now. They have had very specific guidelines in place for the reporting of claims and all crop insurance procedures for some time. We have been notified by all our crop insurance carriers that the RMA intends to follow and enforce the guidelines for all claims procedures. Please notify your agent before you replant or destroy the crop for any reason. An inspection and/or authorization from an adjustor must be made prior to replanting or putting the acreage to another crop or use.
The excitement in the grain markets continues and for the most part the wheat looks good in our 41 county area. This increases the need to protect the value of your crops with a Crop-Hail policy from Frontier Farm Credit. Please give us a call for a quote. I think you will be surprised how inexpensive this coverage will be which could include an endorsement for Fire, Wind and Tornado and Green Snap on corn.
Don’t hesitate to call us at 1-888-598-8329 to verify the final planting dates. We will be contacting crop insurance customers in the near future to get your acreage report by the JULY 15, 2008 DEADLINE.
Thank you for your business and we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
