Farm insurance policies are complicated, and it’s not always easy to say what is covered without a detailed review of the coverage you hold and the type of farm you operate. Your farm insurance likely consists of a number of policies and types of coverage, and the reality is that you may be submitting several different claims under several policies for your drought-related losses.
Ultimately, the drought-related losses that are covered depend heavily on the details of your farm insurance policies and even the state in which you operate. However, some commonly covered drought losses might include:
- Crop losses
- Livestock losses
- Loss of farm products, like feed, seeds, or fertilizers
- Damage to buildings, including homes, barns, outbuildings, and more
- Damage to farm equipment and vehicles
- Some business losses
