Quantify agricultural risk with precision crop modeling
Get a comprehensive view of realistic loss scenarios with our advanced agricultural models. Our crop modeling solutions factor in crop genetics, yields, prices, exposure, weather data, management practices, and policy conditions to provide reliable agricultural risk assessments. Available in the US, Canada, China, and India.
Get a complete view of US agriculture insurance
The Verisk model analyzes 100% of the US agricultural premium; that’s why so many reinsurance brokers and global agricultural reinsurers use it.
Stay up to date on new insurance programs
The US model accounts for new programs like Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO), Hurricane Insurance Protection - Wind Index (HIPWI), and Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF).
See a full range of hail loss estimates
Our crop hail models estimate hail and wind damage based on plants’ growth stages. One data source covers all insurance options for crop hail in the US and Canada.
