Agricorp: Renewal Season Good Time To Assess Risk Management Coverage

Apr 20, 2016

Agricorp is encouraging farmers to make sure their risk management coverage is a good match for what their farms look like today.

The agency points out coverage details are based on last year’s business.

According to Agricorp, making sure the information is accurate and reflects how your farm operates today ensures producers only pay for the coverage they need and get the right compensation in the event of a claim.

Some of the questions producers should ask themselves about their coverage include …

What risks does their farm face this year?

Will their current coverage protect them if they experience a severe, unexpected loss?

Do their chosen coverage levels still provide the protection that’s best for them?

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
