Change sought in hail insurance compensation rules
On January 11 the late hail insurance board met at the capitol to discuss insured claims. It recommended amending the hail insurance law to pay all sums in full and cancel applications when a farmer cannot produce a crop due to drought or flood. Current law requires all applications be filed by June 15, and delays after that date leave crops uninsured. The board aims to allow farmers to finance policies with a small fee.
