Ryan Johnston, AgriSompo N.A., explains some of the adjuster responsibilities during the second cotton school on September 21. Identifying the stage of development is an important part of any loss determination no matter what crop the adjuster is evaluating. Pre-adjustment preparation and review of the loss procedures for dry beans in the vegetative stages was part of the training during the August 31 crop-hail school. Dr. Juan Osorno, North Dakota State University, presented on the influence of stresses on dry beans during the crop-hail dry bean school on August 31. Linson Stegall, NAU Country, was one of many presenters during the MPCI and Crop-Hail Hemp loss adjustment school on September 14. There were several video demonstrations of loss examples involving stand reductions, plant damage and seed count. CROPINSURANCE TODAY® 11
