Today's episode features Zoe Kaiser, row-crop farmer, rancher, farmer's wife, farmer's daughter, and Crop Insurance agent. Zoe lives in western Kansas with her husband; they're both 5th generation farmers, and between the two of them, they have a lot of irons in the fire!

We're explaining crop insurance in this episode - specifically from an agent's perspective, because this is the world that Zoe and I both work in. Crop insurance plays a vital role for families and their farms, because really, it's how they're able to protect their livelihoods (no matter what kind of crazy weather occurs that year). We're talking about the importance of multi-peril crop insurance, terms like the 10-year average and APH, a variety of policies and products that may be beneficial in protecting your family (depending on where you live), and more.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why crop insurance is like a critical safety net
• The importance of Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MCPI) + what the 10 year average and APH program is
• The complicated nature of hail + why basic policies like hail and wind insurance are necessary (especially in certain geographical areas)
• Various insurance products and policies that can protect you and your family in multiple different ways
• Precipitation and drought-like conditions + how this greatly impacts planting, harvesting, and everything in between
