High wind protection coverage can be customized based on location(s), limit of liability, coverage trigger, and policy period. For instance, the pre-selected coverage trigger for a hops grower might be 60 miles per hour. Should wind speeds exceed this threshold, the insured automatically qualifies for a loss payment, assisting with repair, replacement, or lost revenue costs. This financial protection helps businesses stay profitable and operational despite high wind challenges.
Hops producers are especially exposed to high winds devastating the quantity and quality of their assets. High winds can cause trellises (Framework of poles and wires in which hops are grown on) to fall over. High winds can also cause the hop plants to lean over, a condition known as lodging. Lodging can lead to difficulties in harvesting and reduce the overall quality of the hops, causing a potential loss of revenue to the producer.
