Harvest is almost here. One insurance question worth asking BEFORE you get in the field:
What happens if your combine or tractor goes down and you have to rent another one to keep harvest moving?
Depending on your policy and what caused the loss, there may be coverage available for the temporary equipment — and potentially some of the extra expense of keeping the farm operating after a covered loss.
The important part is figuring that out before you're sitting in the field with a broken piece of equipment and a crop that needs to come out.
If you're heading into harvest, now is a pretty good time to give your farm policy a quick once-over.
Good luck and have a safe harvest!
