Crop-Hail loss procedures for corn and soybeans and MPCI procedures for cotton. Following this hands-on review, students went to
a classroom to hear presentations from Kansas
State University faculty, Drs. Doug Jardine,
Kraig Roozeboom, and Brian McCornack. Dr.
Jardine spoke about diseases and funguses that
can affect corn and soybeans; Dr. Roozeboom
presented information about grain sorghum
and canola research he is conducting for NCIS;
and, Dr. McCornack talked about insect identification and damage.
Day two began again with adjusters in the
field rotating through crop plots, learning how
to correctly establish stages of crop growth,
taking counts to determine the percent of loss
for hail damage, working through MPCI appraisal methods, and reviewing loss adjustment
forms completion.
Kansas/Oklahoma Regional/State Committee Chairman, Christopher Deetjen, and
Michael Schroeder, Kansas School Chairman,

Crop-Hail Corn, Soybean
and Wheat School/Field Day

The objective of the Crop-Hail Corn, Soybean,
and Wheat School/Field Day was to provide loss
adjusters with instruction and field training on
several different stages of development in corn,
soybeans, and wheat. The school, held in Champaign, Illinois, August 2-3, was geared toward
adjusters who had little or no adjusting to intermediate adjusting experience. The 70 attendees
first listened to classroom instruction on corn,
soybean, and wheat loss adjustment procedures
taught by knowledgeable, experienced adjusters
from member companies.
On the second day, adjusters participated in
field exercises conducted at the University of Illinois' Crop Science Research and Education Center in Urbana. This instruction focused on corn
and soybean hail damage at three developmental
stages encompassing early vegetative through
late-reproductive growth and included corn ear
damage and green snap. Wheat loss procedures
were also conducted in the field.
