A single hailstorm can wipe out months of work in minutes. Crop hail insurance fills the gap MPCI leaves behind — protecting your yields with first-dollar coverage you can buy any time during the growing season.
Hail is one of the most destructive weather events for Midwest farmers — and one of the most unpredictable. A single storm can destroy 100% of your crop in minutes. MPCI deductibles often leave farmers paying for the first 15-35% of losses out of pocket. Crop hail closes that gap.
As an independent agency, Brawner offers crop hail coverage from multiple specialty carriers. We help farmers choose per-acre coverage that fills MPCI gaps, includes wind and storm protection, and pays out fast when you need cash to recover.

Crop hail isn't a replacement for MPCI — it's the perfect complement. Together they give you complete protection from both broad yield losses and devastating hail events.

Talk to an Agent →Crop-Hail and Multi-Peril Crop Insurance work very differently. Most serious producers carry both. Here is why.
Best for: producers in hail-prone regions who want first-dollar protection on top of their MPCI policy.
Best for: producers who want broad multi-peril protection with federal subsidies reducing premium cost.
Most successful producers carry MPCI as their foundation and add Crop-Hail for first-dollar storm protection. We will help you build the right combination.

Crop-Hail policies can be adjusted throughout the season. Here are the moments when a quick check-in can protect your operation.
Lock in coverage before planting decisions are final. Pricing and product availability are best early in the season — and you can match coverage levels to expected yields.
As crops develop and your investment grows, you may want to increase coverage. Crop-Hail offers mid-season flexibility that MPCI alone cannot match.
If hail or severe weather is forecast in your region, contact us immediately. We can review your coverage levels and confirm protection before the storm hits.
Each year is different. Reviewing your Crop-Hail program before the new season ensures you are protected against the risks that matter most for your specific fields.
