There is no doubt that hurricanes are intense, damaging storms that can leave entire agricultural regions in ruins. And even when hurricanes don’t affect a large percentage of agriculture in a region, individual farms can still suffer extreme localized damages. The strong winds, hail, heavy rains, and flooding brought on by hurricanes often leave a wake of agricultural destruction, and farmers are often left to pick up the pieces and fight for the price of fair recovery.
Many farms in the United States have witnessed the power of this destruction firsthand in Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Irene, Hurricane Katrina, and other storms in just the last decade. Although the damage from these storms was well publicized, some farmers waited years for a resolution to their insurance and aid claims, and even after a long wait, many were unable to recover enough to pay for the full-extent of their losses. Don’t let the same happen to you.
