State Hail Board Meeting Wednesday, November 29th

Helena, Mont. – The Montana State Hail Board will meet at 8:00 am on Wednesday, November 29th at the Heritage Inn in Great Falls (1700 Fox Farm Rd) to review the 2017 hail year. An agenda can be viewed here. The Montana State Hail Insurance program was created at the request of producers in 1917 to provide basic hail insurance coverage on any crop grown in Montana. The program is directed by a five-member board consisting of three producers appointed by the governor, the department director, and the state insurance commissioner. The Montana Department of Agriculture’s mission is to protect producers and consumers, and to enhance and develop agriculture and allied industries.  For more information on the Montana Department of Agriculture, visit agr.mt.gov.
