Hail adjusting! Head office memo! No settling till harvest!

[SASKFARMER3]

We'll well we'll, get hail July 5 th takes plants down to SFA! Some one at head office decides the farmer might get 15 after and they're a decision to defer instead of paying!
And some wonder why I complain !

[mcfarms]

I actually wonder why you farm.

[SASKFARMER3]

No it just showing what farming really is like! It's not all lollipops and candy! Some neighbours are not as nice as me! Phones ringing since I'm with storm boss!

I find that post hard to understand. Are you saying they're not writing it off 100% beacuse they think there is something salvageable? And now they're going to make you wait til harvest to see.

Company trying to save money and Producer maybe had something else in mind to prepare for 2015 or seed fall rye or winter wheat. Duke it out, don't be to quick to sign off. Are you insured by more than one company? Play them.....

You're talking straight hail or crop insurance? I had hrs wheat headed out get chopped to 6" on July 12 and they are saying the same thing with straight crop insurance. There are a couple tillers left and they say it will regrow. If it does it will be 10 bushels of feed in late October. Crap.

Hard to believe their doing that. I'd be real pissed.
Two years ago had moderate storm on peas. 3 months later SFA to adjust. Maddening.
What's their adjustment if you wanted to bale?

Take them to arbitration or to court that is the only way to do business with private hail when you have a claim of any significance.

Municipal





SF3, that's a crock. Is it Municipal? Line companies are good to deal with, in my experience.

[SASKFARMER3]

Line companies! Palliser group! Municipal hasn't been here yet!

[SASKFARMER3]

It was on peas, canola, flax, lentils! Paid on wheat, barley and oats! Soy we had no claim.

Lentils and Peas especially are taken over by disease after the stem is damaged. The companies count on regrowth but they know the outcome is never good. This is some game they play.

Government should regulate the scoundrels. Insurance of all kinds is carefully scrutinized. If you leave the field, weeds will take over and multiply for years to come. Been there, done that. Should have plowed every acre down. Even if there is some regrowth in cereals, you will have to bale it up to get it off the field.

Hire an agrologist to give his professional opinion and threaten with a suit, without delay. Show them that you mean business. If you need help finding an agrologist, come back on this thread and I will help you.

If they can't understand that the crop is finished and its economic feasibility is destroyed, get on the pitchers mound.

I dont carry hail but is it not based on damage done. Not on regrowth. Count heads chopoed off as a percentage. Otherwise. Hate to say what. I would kill someone.
