Government-sponsored insurance programs have grown into a significant pillar of many agricultural producers’ risk management plans. As these programs have evolved over the years to become more robust, CIH has observed greater participation by agricultural hedgers to incorporate these tools into their arsenal alongside traditional risk management solutions including exchange-traded derivatives.
Since premium costs are established by the federal government and uniform across insurance providers, service becomes the differentiating factor that sets agencies apart. CIH Insurance Services provides clients with unique tools including industry-leading software to help analyze and compare insurance offerings to exchange-traded alternatives. In addition, our experienced staff can help guide you through the appropriate use of these programs to complement your existing risk management strategies and maximize the unique features these programs provide.
