Crop Hail Insurance from Wisconsin's #1 Farm Insurance
We are here to help you when the weather isn't!
When a farmer does everything right from selecting the best seed, planting at the perfect time, and feeding that crop throughout the season, the one thing no one can control is the weather. And in Wisconsin, it’s hard to tell what the season will bring. Sudden events like thunder storms or forest fires can leave a devastating impact on your business. We are here to help protect what you work so hard for each and every harvest season.
More than just hail damage, Rural Mutual Insurance also covers crop losses caused by fire, lightning, transportation, vandalism and malicious mischief, and damage caused by non-owned vehicles.
In addition, if your crops are destroyed early in the growing season, our policy offers financial assistance for replanting expenses—with no reduction in coverage. Our Crop Hail policy also features convenient automatic renewal to provide you with protection, year after year.
