AG Direct Hail announces their rates will be at or below 2023 levels
In an unprecedented move, AG Direct Hail Insurance has announced that hard-working Prairie farmers will be able to purchase hail coverage for their crops at rates equal to or below 2023 prices. Executive Vice-President Bruce Lowe spoke with our very own Tracy Brunet to find out what prompted this great news for farmers.
“We are excited to provide coverage in about 8,500 townships across the Prairies at rates at or below last year. When you consider the challenges facing farmers this year, from uncertain commodity prices, high interest rates, increases to input costs and drought in some areas, we asked ourselves what we could do that would help provide some relief. We have farmers on our senior team, and they are keenly aware of all the headwinds facing farmers.”
Bruce quickly added that while rates are certainly a factor, you must tick all the boxes for farmers. “Based on the millions of acres we insured last year; we know our customers find our rates attractive, but it goes much deeper than that. We pride ourselves on our superior customers service and professional claims handling,” said Lowe.
As the first company in the industry to offer direct and online coverage, AG Direct Hail doesn’t compensate any brokers or agents to sell coverage. “Our customers register with us and receive an email when our rates are available. Farmers enter their crop details, determine their coverage levels and deductible options, and purchase the policy, all online. It’s that simple”.
