Mega Menu

Mega menu is possible in BS5 but we will need to create a custom template layout for the navigation widget. The following is a hard-coded example.

Card Hero Template

This is the default Bootstrap 5 Hero card.

Font Awesome 6

FA6+ icons will work on all widgets.

The FMH Icon box will need a new version created because the styling is broken in Bootstrap 5 templates (this has nothing to do with FA).

Icons can now be used in Content blocks by pasting the HTML tags from www.fontawesome.com into the HTML editor.

Here are some new icons from Font Awesome 6

Accordion

This is the first item's accordion body. It is shown by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables. It's also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the .accordion-body, though the transition does limit overflow.

Quality Control Review FAQ

Quality Control Review FAQ

What can an Insured do to prepare for a review?

Third party documentation (i.e. summary/settlement sheets from the elevator) is required when applicable and available. Insureds are expected to have available hard copy records that will 1) support the total production raised for the crop/county/year being reviewed and 2) that can demonstrate how production was kept separate between various units, practices and types (if applicable).

Insureds will also want make themselves available to meet with the quality control reviewer as the reviews will need to be completed before the claims can be processed.

What can Agents do to prepare for a review?

Agents can encourage their producers to begin assembling the production history documentation that will be necessary to complete the APH Review. Agents may also want to be sure all current year policy documents have been submitted to the FMH home office so that the Contract Review can be completed without delay.

How does the review process begin?

Once a claim is reported, FMH adjusters will be in contact with policyholders and/or agents. They will discern which policies will need a review and take the steps necessary to initiate these reviews. At that point FMH’s Compliance Field Specialist will oversee the review completion to ensure that all the components of the review are completed by objective and unbiased persons and according to RMA procedures.

Prepare for a Tough Year with These 2025 Crop Insurance Considerations

Jan 16, 2025, 08:45 by User Not Found
With farm expenses remaining high and grain prices trending down over the last several years, crop insurance has become even more of a critical tool for farmers to confidently market their products and protect their livelihoods.

While many farmers are currently considering where to reduce input costs such as machinery, chemicals, and fertilizer, crop insurance is an area that shouldn’t take great cuts.

“Crop insurance is the one input that keeps you farming into the following year,” says Kathleen Bjerke, assistant vice president of sales for Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance Company. “Historically, less than 2 percent of farmers’ costs are attributed to crop insurance. There’s a lot that goes into having a great crop, but if it doesn’t grow, it’s crop insurance that keeps you going.”

Today, farmers have more crop insurance options than ever before. There are many newer crop insurance products that can supplement a typical federal insurance policy, allowing for increased coverage levels that can better help a farmer break even in difficult years. New technology like using precision data for crop insurance means more accurate coverage, which can reduce premium costs.

Ken Ripley, assistant vice president of sales for Farmers Mutual Hail and Minnesota farmer, says products to consider are supplemental county plans such as ECO and SCO, which trigger a claim depending on county-wide losses. New in 2025: ECO has an increased subsidy, making it more affordable for more farmers.

“When you look at dollars and look at break evens on the farm, those packages where you can add on some county plans to just give that extra cushion with those higher triggers, definitely has been on my radar. I think, for most producers, we'll wait and see what the February prices bring.”  - Ken Ripley, AVP, Sales

Precision data can be used for more accurate coverage, which can reduce premium costs and increase a farmer’s APH over time.

“If you’re already recording your planting and harvest with precision equipment, it’s very easy to submit that to your insurance company, which reduces paperwork, saves time, and is secure,” explains Ripley.

March 17, 2025, is the sales closing date – or the deadline to select federal crop insurance coverage – in many regions across the U.S. Both Ripley and Bjerke suggest reaching out to your agent and the local Farm Service Agency office to learn more about what newer options are available to you and to ensure you’re properly enrolled and covered.

3 things to consider when making your 2025 crop insurance decisions: 

  1. Educate yourself on supplemental crop insurance products that can increase your coverage levels such as ECO and SCO. This can put a better safety net under your operation. 

  2. The same plan you have had in past years might not be enough this year. Talk to your agent about how you can right-size your crop insurance to help you break even or stay profitable this year.

  3. Consider new technology solutions insurance companies are offering, such as using precision data to create more accurate coverage and loss adjustments or setting up a direct deposit to receive claim payments even faster. Farmers Mutual Hail offers both options for farmers.
