“Something that usually would take me 20 hours all together only took me about 5 hours. I was able to do the entire claim without having to meet the farmer in person until it was time for the farmer to sign the claim,” said FMH Adjuster Jerry Krosbakken.

“Ensuring high-quality patient care for children is our mission at Blank Children’s Hospital and with the help of funds like those raised by Farmers Mutual Hail, this enables us to meet a critical need for children here in Central Iowa and across our state that are fighting cancer,” says Steve Stephenson, MD, president and chief operating officer for Blank Children’s Hospital.

As summer quickly transitioned into fall this September, harvest began early across parts of the U.S. The October 5 USDA Crop Progress Report noted that around 25 percent of corn, 38 percent of soybeans, and 17 percent cotton have been harvested, and over one-third of grain sorghum has been harvested.

As an Iowa-based company that protects America’s farmers who feed the world, FMH recognizes the importance of supporting members of its local community to join in the fight against food insecurity. FMH strives to fight hunger through its support of organizations like the Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) food pantry, the Food Bank of Iowa, and Meals from the Heartland.

Farming isn’t perfect. And while growers strive to capture as much data as possible with precision equipment, things that are out of their control still happen, and they might have partial data at the end of planting or harvest season. So, can FMH still process a precision claim with only a portion of the production data available? The answer is yes! Find out how the process worked for one Colorado family farm.
