Crop Insurance questions What are some questions asked by producers regarding how crop insurance works related to matters of climate and climate smart agriculture? For example, if corn is burned back to the ground, if it s not killed to the growing point, it can recover, but there will be just a bit of a waiting game for producers across all the entire agricultural spectrum just to see how much damage has been done. I don t think it ll rise to the level of a billion dollar disaster like we saw as recently as twenty seventeen. But at the same time, I don t think we re going to escape with no damage whatsoever. So stay tuned and we will know more. As the weeks progress, producers will continue to monitor the fruit, the winter wheat, the immerge, summer crops, just to see the extent of the damage from this April freeze. That’s USDA meteorologist, Brad Rippey, who says ag producers are assessing how much agricultural damage was caused by a recent, massive freeze.
