Baird Crop Insurance Agency offers flexible coverage designed to protect crops from damaging weather conditions during specified coverage periods. These Named Peril products are recommended as either supplements to your MPCI or Crop Hail policies or as standalone policies. They are designed to cover gaps in coverage such as hazards unique to specific crops, unavailability of MPCI and hail insurance in your area, or to cover a processor.
More About Our Named Peril Crop Insurance Solutions:
Crop Hail - Crop Hail Insurance provides coverage against loss to growing crops caused by hail. Depending on the crop insured, a crop hail policy may also provide coverage for loss caused by any of the following perils: fire, lightning, wind (when accompanied by hail or by separate endorsement), vandalism and malicious mischief. Crops may also be insured while being transported to a first place of storage and in the first non-commercial place of storage.
Supplemental Products - Must be purchased in combination with a Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) policy. RCIS offers several supplemental policies that are designed to enhance your underlying MPCI policy. These products provide increased protection above that offered under the multi-peril coverage in certain states on selected products.
Replant Option - The Replant Option is available as a supplement to selected Multi-Peril Crop Insurance crops and plans. In the event of a MPCI replant the insured receives an additional payment from the Replant Option policy. This policy also covers replant costs on smaller acreage than Multi-Peril Crop Insurance.
