The successful cultivation of any crop is highly dependent on optimal weather conditions during each stage of the crop’s life.
Be it the right amount of rainfall or dry conditions during harvest, crops have a full season of specific climatological prerequisites to meet quality and quantity expectations. Therefore, increased weather volatility poses a financial risk to farmers making it harder to ensure quality and quantity of the harvest.
A Full Season Weather Cover provides farmers a professional solution to control their weather risk throughout the cultivation of their crop. Based on plant biology and local climatology, farmers are now capable of recovering crop value as growing weather conditions become less favorable for optimal yield.
Weather coverage options include but are not limited to:
- Excess Rainfall: Excessive precipitation can delay timely planting, tilling, harvesting, and other field work. In many cases it also affects the quality of the commodity price.
- Drought: Dry spells can cause wilting, pollination issues and decrease yield and quality.
- Frost: A cool growing season or early frost can prevent crop from reaching full maturity and can even destroy a crop.
- Heat Stress: Heat can reduce growth and lead to a lower yield and crop grade.
