DES MOINES, Iowa (RFD-TV) — Extreme weather continues to challenge farmers across farm country, with hail and high winds among the leading causes of crop and equipment damage.
To help producers better prepare and respond, Nationwide Agribusiness has launched a new weather alert program designed to deliver timely text notifications and prevention tips directly to farmers.
Nationwide’s Vice President of Agribusiness Claims, Nick Andersen, joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to discuss the new severe weather alert program and share insights on managing weather-related risks.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Andersen explained how Nationwide’s new Hail and Wind Alert System works, offering real-time alerts and actionable safety guidance when storms are approaching. The system aims to give producers a valuable head start to protect their property, livestock, and livelihood.
Andersen also emphasized the importance of understanding the financial and operational toll that severe weather events can have on farms.
He noted that preparation—such as inspecting roofs, securing equipment, and reviewing insurance coverage—can make a major difference in minimizing losses.
