Week 12 - WHEAT YIELDS AND REVIEWING COVERAGE SCHEDULES

This is Lonnie Sewell, crop insurance agent, with this week’s update, brought to you by Sewell Agency and ASI Crop-Hail ins.

This week we have several topics-The 1st one is wheat yield reporting. Do it now while it is fresh on your mind. Also, review your insurance coverage schedules when you get them back from your company. It is a lot easier to correct now than in the fall if you have a loss. A small error now could be costly later.

Wildlife damage -Did you know that wildlife damage is covered. If you have one of those fields that deer, turkey, and other animals just riddle, you may be eligible for a loss payment. However, livestock damage is not a payable loss, nor is chemical damage. In those cases the responsible party should pay.

Disaster Program-Sign up for the 2005-2006 spring crop and 2007 wheat Crop Disaster program. – Sign up may start in late August.

Don’t forget to protect those expensive crops with some inexpensive crop-hail insurance from ASI.

Week # 11 - Acreage Reports / Double Crop Beans / Wheat Yields

Hi! This is Tanya Stimpson with this week’s crop insurance update. This week’s topic is verifying your acreage report, double crop beans, and Wheat yields and brought to you by AgriServe Crop Hail Insurance and the Sewell Agency in Chillicothe.
Now that you have reported all of your acres to your agent be sure and take a look at the completed form they will send out to you when they have entered that information into their database. If there is an error it will be easier to fix now than in the fall.
If you have some double crop beans, they are not insurable through the multi-peril insurance but you can insure them on a hail policy. That would give you some protection and would only cost a few dollars per acre. So be sure you protect all of your crops from those hail storms including your double crop beans.
It is time for you to report your wheat yields to your insurance agent and a reminder if you keep grain for seed, be sure and add that to your yield before giving to your agent.

Week #9 Wheat yields and Crop Reporting

Hi! This is Tanya Stimpson with this week’s crop insurance update. This week’s topic is Wheat yield, claims and crop reporting and brought to you by AgriServe Crop Hail Insurance and the Sewell Agency in Chillicothe.
Many farmers are in the fields harvesting wheat and with that comes reporting those yields to your insurance agent. If your yield is averaging close to your guarantee you could still possibly have a claim because of test weight. So if you think you are close, call us and let the adjuster determine if you qualify for a loss.
Some farmers after harvesting wheat will plant soybeans, this is called double crop. Be sure when you report to FSA and your insurance agent you inform them of any double cropping, preventive planting, or a crop after a failed crop.
You work hard for your crops, don’t let a terrible hail storm come through and ruin them, protect your investment with a few dollars an acre of hail coverage from Agriserve Crop Hail Insurance.
Reminder you still need to have all of your crops reported to your agent by July 15, so you have this week to report to FSA and then to your agent. Here at Sewell Agency, we will be extending our hours this week from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm to help you report to us.
