Crop damage coverage under a farm insurance policy can be very complex, and extensive estimates and documentation are sometimes needed for the farm owner to recover financially from these losses. However, what needs to be documented—and how you go about doing it—really depends on the specific details of your claim and the cause of your crop-related losses.
It’s very common for farms to call in damage estimators and other contractors to assess crop and property losses after a storm, fire, or other disaster, and it may be necessary in your case. However, a lot will depend on:
- What caused the damage to your crops
- If government or community relief is available
- The details of your farm insurance coverage
- How severe losses were or are predicted to be
- If losses may effect more than just the current growing season
With so many different factors that can influence your claim, it may be difficult to handle on your own.
