Deductibles
Co-operative Hail provides three types of coverage to the producer. A full cover policy and two deductible policies are available. A deductible policy works just like your home or farm policy. You evaluate how much risk you as a producer can sustain. The higher the deductible you accept the less cost to your premium. Please remember deductible policies provide a lesser coverage.
