Crop claims now can be submitted from the field with a new smartphone app. Country Financial’s crop insurance customers can download the free Unity Mobile app and have it ready if an unforeseen event occurs. “The app allows you to access any document available that’s associated with your crop insurance policy,” said Andrew Mizell, Country crop intelligence analyst. “You could be watching your yield monitor in the combine, understanding what your guarantee is for crop in insurance on that piece of land and if it doesn’t look right, if it looks a little low, you have the ability now instead of stopping and calling your agent, you can file the claim via your smartphone.” Beyond submitting and tracking an existing claim through the app, crop customers also can review previous claims and policy information. In further versions, they can also have the ability to pay their crop insurance premiums. Farmers or landowners can get the Unity Mobile app by visiting countrycrop.com to create an account and gain access to app credentials and then go to App Store or Google Play with their smartphone to download the free app. Farmers without smartphones can create an account and access the same functions at countrycrop.com. “Just like everything else in agriculture, the bar is moving, everything is progressing and we’re trying to make it easier for the producer anyway we can,” Mizell said.
