Open Mic: Dr. Tom Zacharias, National Crop Insurance Services

Agri-Pulse Open Mic Interview

This week’s Open Mic guest is Dr. Tom Zacharias, President of the National Crop Insurance Services. Crop insurance companies have proven effective in providing risk management resources for farmers and ranchers who have suffered losses from various extreme weather events over the past several months. He outlines many of the changes the industry has undergone and how the public-private partnership delivers quicker help for policyholders. Zacharias says companies are financially sound and ready to provide even greater tools for crop, livestock and specialty crop growers for the season ahead.
