Price Flex (PF)

Price Flex is a private product offered by Hudson Insurance Group through Farmers Heritage Financial.  As a supplement to individual MPCI policies, it provides potentially higher than the base coverage established under the RP or GRIP plans.  For pennies a bushel, a producer can exercise the option of adding one or several additional price discovery periods to their policy, the higher of which would be used to establish the revenue guarantee for the loss purpose if that price exceeds the projected and harvest prices as determined by RMA.

Crop-Hail

Companion Hail is an endorsement to a multi-peril or revenue-based crop insurance policy that provides additional coverage for a loss caused by fire or hail. Crop-Hail insurance protects against loss in yields due to hail and/or fire. Opposite to a federally reinsured crop insurance policy, the producer is allowed to purchase crop-hail insurance coverage up to the actual total value of their crop.
