Because each agribusiness is so different, the best insurance for farms and ranches is customized to the individual operation. But customization doesn’t stop there. Because farms have vastly different needs depending on the time of year, a peak season endorsement can keep you fully protected when you need extra coverage and help you save money when you don’t.
What is a Peak Season Endorsement?
A peak season endorsement is an additional coverage option that allows you to automatically increase or decrease coverage limits throughout the year based on seasonal changes to your operation. Rather than having to remember to contact your insurance agent after each harvest or delivery, for example, peak season endorsements provide extra coverage during periods of time when the value of the farm is higher than normal.
When Your Farm Needs a Peak Season Endorsement
If, for example, you’re a hay farmer who is currently drying a large harvest of hay, you’ll need more coverage during that time than you do once the hay is sold. Peak season endorsements can also be added to your livestock insurance, as you ‘ll likely want to increase your coverage during birthing season and decrease your coverage after selling livestock.
Why Add a Peak Season Endorsement to Your Farm Insurance Policy?
Owning and operating a farm, ranch, vineyard, or orchard can be a challenge, even on the best day. Peak season endorsements can save you time and money, while offering you comprehensive farm protection when you need it most. Not only will you avoid paying a higher rate for the entire year to ensure you have enough protection during the peak season, but you get to decide the specific date ranges in advance, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to call your agent when you’re at your busiest. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that if something were to happen during this time, you’ll be fully covered.
