ADM Crop Risk Services has started a new pilot program for crop hail notifications in the following states:
- Arkansas
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- North Dakota
|

This Crop Hail Notification program is a value-added service and is provided to all agents with an active crop hail policy at no expense to the agency or insured.
The program is designed to send the agent an email when there is a probability of hail located within the county of the documented legal sections of a hail policy. This allows the agent the ability to contact the insured and inform them of the possibility of crop damage after a storm has occurred.
This pilot program will help determine the value this service provides to our agents. Based on the feedback we receive,
we will evaluate moving the program into Aeros™ and adding more functionality in the future.
Any questions or feedback on this pilot program is greatly appreciated and can be directed to hailalert@admcrs.com.
