Is it Too Late to Buy Hail Coverage?

Each year, severe storms affect farming operations across the country. But when is it too late to purchase crop-hail coverage? 

FBN^® offers a variety of different options for crop-hail coverage to get that last minute coverage when you need it most. 

Most insurers allow:

• A two-hour buying window. When your application is signed/submitted, your coverage is active after a waiting period, usually two hours.

• 12:01 am coverage (meaning if you buy your coverage at 6 pm, your coverage wouldn’t take effect until 12:01 am the next day)

Cost

The cost will vary among insurers because hail is a private product and depends on whether you’ve purchased a policy with a two-hour buying window or 12:01 am coverage. 

Risks

Knowing which coverage is appropriate for your operation depends on the peril you’re facing such as:

• Hail

• Wind

• Fire

• Green Snap
