November 18, Crop Insurance Meeting Follow-up

USDA Crop Insurance was the topic for EDWGGA’s grower meeting on November 18. Our thanks to Patti Velasquez of Vander Beek Crop Insurance for leading the discussion and answering growers' questions including those on how coverage for smoke taint is being handled. Patti invited growers to contact her for a no cost, no obligation estimate. Her contact information is: 209-602-5506, vdb.cropins@outlook.com. She will soon be sending out a crop insurance outline specific for grapes which we will be posting.
