Crop Hail/Production Plan
Crop-Hail coverage provides protection against physical damage from hail and/or fire. Other coverages provided include fire department service charges, transit coverage to the first place of storage, catastrophe loss award (most coverages) and replanting coverage (most crops). Options exist in some areas for other perils, such as wind and theft.
Crop-Hail can be used along with MPCI or other comprehensive coverages to offset the MPCI deductible and provide protection up to the actual cash value of the crop. Coverage is provided on an acre-by-acre basis, so damage that occurs on only part of a farm may be eligible for payment when the rest of the unit remains unaffected.
If a grower has coverage and bumper crop yields or higher prices become apparent, coverage can be increased during the growing season to cover the value of the crop.
The Companion Plan is designed to cover that portion of the crop not covered by a policy reinsured or approved by FCIC. This plan provides the grower protection against any percentage of loss caused by hail and/or fire. It is designed to work in conjunction with a policy reinsured or approved by FCIC and contains increasing payment factors, which match up with the various coverage levels as follows:
| Policy reinsured or approved by FCIC Level of Coverage | Increasing Payment Factor Elected | Limit of Insurance not to exceed normal market value of your interest in the: |
| 50% | 2.0 | top half of the crop |
| 65% | 3.0 | top third of the crop |
| 75% | 4.0 | top quarter of the crop |
The Production Plan endorsement is designed to cover that portion of the crop not covered by the underlying MPCI policy. The endorsement provides protection against loss caused by hail and/or fire on a unit basis. Green Snap and Wind endorsements are available in some areas.
