JACK RAIRDAN - EXL FARMS
Stettler AB
Just a quick e-mail to again express our gratitude and pleasure dealing with your company. This year we had hail on 3900 acres and as always, Beth (Claims Coordinator) was right on it in a very timely manner. I feel we were very fairly adjusted, signed off and then about three weeks later I noticed 300 acres of peas that just died once the heat hit them. Although everything was done Beth was most accepting and it even worked out that Baillie (Claims Manager) was in Stettler so he came out, had a look, agreed that they were indeed written off and reopened the file to deal with it. Dealing with you company is a pleasure. Your spring application literally takes minutes, is effective after midnight that day and the premium is displayed immediately. Sending in a hail claim is the simplest form I've ever seen and the best is that everything is done on computer, sent in and replied to within 48 hours. You definitely have my business for a long time.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thank you very much Jack. We treat every customer and every claim with the same level of urgency and integrity. We appreciate your kind comments
BRIAN HILDEBRAND
Morden MB
We want to thank you so much for your promptness in assessing the hail damage to our crops. This is our first year with Ag Direct and I have already talked with a number of my neighbours about the efficiency, the ease of applying for hail insurance and submitting a claim. We have farmed for many years and this is by far the easiest, most fair and most accommodating claim we have ever had. With Sunday being a sunny day and rain in the forecast, Beth made sure to flag our claim so it could be processed as soon as possible with no delay during crucial harvest time and Marvin and Bob took the time to explain exactly how they reached their assessments. Very Fair!
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thank you Hildebrand Family. The Claims Team takes immense pride in their work. We will be sure to pass your comments along to them.
PAUL VAN DOREN - VAN DOREN FARMS LTD.

I had the opportunity to deal with Baillie on a claim this year. He didn't give me quite what I wanted but looking back at the end of the year, he was very fair and treated me well. A real pleasure to do business with I cannot say enough good things about dealing with Baillie, the claims department and the organization in general.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Our goal on every claim is to put a payment in the hands of our customer that fairly represents their loss.

DEAN WIEGAND
Westlock AB
I was told of AG Direct Hail by another Insurance representative. I checked out the website and was reading through the testimonials when I came across a familiar last name. I contacted a fellow I knew with the same last name to see if this was a relation and found out it was an uncle. While talking with this fellow he shared that he also had used AG Direct Hail and that both his and his uncle's experience were very positive. So with that I took the leap and had a great first experience in my first year.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thank you for your feedback Dean. We know how important a testimonial can be when making a decision to try something new. We can't thank our farmers enough for sharing their feedback about their experiences with AG Direct Hail.
CRAIG MILLS - C&H MILLS FARMS LTD
Westlock AB
Really impressed with AG Direct Hail's online system for filing a claim! #simple

JOSH UMSCHEID - THREEVIEW FARMS LTD.
Vulcan AB
I heard we could have some violent thunderstorms tomorrow. I stopped the sprayer and it took me 5 minutes to put my hail insurance on with AG Direct Hail. They make it so easy!
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thanks Josh! That's our goal - we believe your crop insurance purchase should be easy and convenient. We appreciate your business!
JACK RAIRDAN - EXL FARMS
Stettler AB
I just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you how happy we are with AG Direct Hail Insurance. 2017 was our first year with AG Direct and I was amazed at the ease of signing up. From opening an account, adding fields and paying it was quick, easy and hassle free. Unfortunately, we did get a 1,000 acres of hail this year but AG Direct is definitely the best company I have ever worked with on a hail claim. Your Claims Coordinator (Beth) was always very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We were leaving for a few days and were hoping to get one field adjusted before we left so that it could be silaged. Dan Hartley made a trip out on a Sunday and did the whole claim the same day and was a very seasoned adjuster. He was also very friendly, knowledgeable and very through. I really like the way that your company empowers its employees to make decisions rapidly. AG Direct Hail has definitely earned my (increased) business next year.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thank you Jack. We do our best to put ourselves in the boots of our customers and ask What's the right thing to do?". Beth and Dan are two within an entire team of professionals."""

LINDSAY NOBBS - LITANO ACRES LTD./DMN AGVENTURES INC.
Lancer SK
First year using AG Direct Hail for us. Our farming operation has multiple stakeholders and we try to keep our bill payments as separate as possible throughout the year. We couldn't figure out separate billing on the website. I bumped into Bruce at the Farm Progress Show and discussed with him. He was very helpful, personable and easy to talk to. He pointed me in the right direction and everything went smoothly. We will be repeating as customers.
Response from AG Direct Hail: From our website/software through to customer service, we have to understand and respond to the unique needs of our most complex customers.
PHILIP HEWITT
Carlyle SK
Mercifully we escaped nature's wrath this year but service across the board from AG Direct has been flawless. Thank you all.
Response from AG Direct Hail: You are very welcome.
BARRY MAURER
Neudorf SK
Beth [Claims Coordinator] called very soon after my claim was submitted. She was very accommodating to set up a date to have our crop adjusted. We found a day that worked and John came to adjust the loss. Both Beth and John have the personal touch" that you don't find anywhere in today's business world. My neighbors will know where I buy my hail insurance."""
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thank you very much for the kind comment Barry. Our entire staff takes immense pride and pleasure in how we deal with our customers...we love what we do.
MURRAY MCCALLUM
Brandon MB
In 2016 I purchased the first AG Direct policy. It was a leap of faith and after considerable research I decided to give it a try. As it turned out it hailed. The first hail in many years...AG Direct's no hassle claim process impressed me so much I purchased their hail insurance in 2017. The easy application and no hassle claim process left me confident that the investment in my crop was protected from the wrath of Mother Nature.
Response from AG Direct Hail: We are glad to have you aboard with us again Murray. We are going to work hard to earn your business again next year.
PAUL HEGLUND
Consul SK
My only regret is the people I know that I used to buy insurance from that are no longer making money as agents.
Response from AG Direct Hail: We hear this comment on occasion Paul. As you know, hail insurance brokers make roughly 12% commission on every policy they sell. With AG Direct Hail you complete the application yourself and our goal is to save you that commission through lower premiums...so the money still stays local...so local that it's in your wallet.
KEN SYMENUK
Central Butte SK
I made a mistake on my application and customer service cleared it up fast and easy.

Response from AG Direct Hail: We understand Trevor. Reminder – as a returning customer, you are guaranteed at least what you purchased last year.
JAMES GIRAUDIER

Response from AG Direct Hail: Welcome to AG Direct Hail Peter. Whether it's your first year or you have been with us from the beginning, we want to earn your business each and every year.

BRETT REIMER - B&B REIMER ACRES
Crystal City MB
Thanks for the business again I think our farm has been with you from the start we enjoy joining you for hail insurance. Sure beats getting an adjuster out fighting with him to get more out of him. Tell Bruce he is a good sales man keep up the good work. We have used you guys two years now. We are in a hail area.
Response from AG Direct Hail: The highest compliment we get is when our customers thank us for doing business...we sincerely thank you Brett.

ANDREW FANDRY
Hussar AB
I like that AG Direct is an internet based company with less overhead costs and no broker fees, the savings are passed on to the farmer.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Seems like you have us figured out Andrew...and we aim to exceed your expectations with our customer service and claims handling as well.
JUDY VAN DE SYPE - SIMMLAND FARMS INC.
Radville SK
We really agree with your business model and that is why I held on to the promotional card that came in our mailbox. I'd have to say that I was more than a little nervous about dealing with a new company so I did what research I could online to find out more about your company and we also read the testimonial section. The day that your adjusters came, my brother who I was helping, had a combine fire in the field and the adjusters left him a fire extinguisher to use for the afternoon in case we needed it while they were doing the adjusting nearby. Every point of contact has provided exceptional service to us.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Our Adjusters are highly trained to help put out fires Judy ☺
LORNE UMSCHEID
Milo AB
Thanks for calling back Bruce. Your company has been great to deal with as well as much better priced. I have been telling everyone I know how well this all has been and I know quite a few have already said they will be switching to you next year. Thanks.

DOUG FEDORUK
Saint Paul AB
I would like to say - so far (this year and last) I have appreciated AG Direct Hail as your company has been very good and easy to work with - simple to apply and good communication when a claim has been filed - thank you.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Well, so far we are two for two Doug...Rest assured we will continue to meet/exceed your expectations and earn your business for years to come. Thank you Doug.
TYREL OMIECINSKI
Wiseton SK
I have to give praise on how fair your adjustors were for us on handling our claims. Lyle and Lloyd and were great guys to deal with. Considering the outcome in our area come harvest time and dealing with excessive moisture, in the middle of July when we had no idea of how the end result would turn out, they did their job well and were very fair on adjusting our claim.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Thank you for the feedback Tyrel! The entire claims team strives for fair outcomes.
BRANDON ZIMMER - FULL THROTTLE FARMS LTD
Kerrobert SK
As a smaller farmer, I fight with the equipment companies, the input retails, and grain elevators. I am not a big enough farm to care about. After talking to Bruce about the AG Direct quote, I somewhat got a feel for him. What I noticed was that Bruce was not like the rest of the AG industry, he was there to stand up for me and give me honestly and integrity. I almost never see that anymore, as most sectors are worried about shareholders and how to make more money. Not AG Direct. After talking with Bruce and realizing that he a real person trying to help farmers rather than help them open their bank accounts for boards of directors that couldn't care less about me. Thanks AG Direct for looking out for my needs before yours.
Response from AG Direct Hail: A heartfelt ‘THANK YOU’ for your kind comments Brandon.
LARRY MARSHALL - MARSHALL FARMS
Shellbrook SK
Hi Bruce. Thank you ever so much. I have always been more than satisfied in my dealings with AG Direct and I will continue to pass on my favorable comments to my fellow farmers. Again, thank you very much.
Response from AG Direct Hail: You were one of our very first registrants and customers Larry. We truly appreciate your business. Thank you.
MELISSA MCWILLIAM - WESTERN FEEDLOTS LTD.
High River AB
Wanted to email and thank you for your excellent service this year. This was the first year that Western Feedlots Ltd. has used AG Direct and I have had a very positive experience with your company over this crop year.
Response from AG Direct Hail: We take loss adjusting very seriously. Our team of highly qualified, professional adjusters strive to ensure we are fair on loss awards.
RAY KETTENBACH - HORSESHOE CANYON LAND & CATTLE CO., LTD.
Calgary AB
We are seeing more hail on our farm. The opportunity to save a few dollars on what looked like a dry year with no reduction coverage sounded like a good idea. It was! Although we didn't have hail this year, saving some money is always good. The product was just as advertised. Being able to do things on my time is great - I put on coverage at 11:30 p.m. and it was in effect at noon the next day. Pretty tough to do with other companies if you have to meet face to face. The web based system is simple to use, they have examples and of course they are only a phone call away. Good product, good price, good service.
Response from AG Direct Hail: In season, we know that farmers are extremely busy. Purchasing hail coverage should be fast, convenient and safe. As long as the policy is submitted by midnight central time, it is in effect noon the following day. Of course we are available toll free if our customers wish to talk to us.
RAY KETTENBACH - AG VENTURE FARMS LTD
Calgary AB
We are very satisfied with the AG Direct Hail product. I was a bit skeptical of this product at first, but Bruce and his team made it very easy to do business with. It was just like Bruce said it would be. Simple, no frills product. The investment of insurance is a large expense and so the savings we enjoyed were in the neighbourhood of 30%! We took some additional coverage over our normal rate and still saved some money. We did get hail - and just as promised the claims process was simple. Go online, make your claim, provide the details on adjustment (we used the AFSC adjustment) and received our cheque in a few weeks - no hassle. We ended up needing to correct some acreages on insured acres prior to the claim (my mistake) and that was extremely simple to do. Ellen was easy to deal with and we received a refund - simple, no hassle and timely. Couldn't ask for a better product. I will be booking my straight hail again
Response from AG Direct Hail: At AG Direct Hail, we believe that saving hard working farmers money on hail premiums is only half of the story. The connection we have with our customers, superior service and claims handling is the other half. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of our customers
JEFF ELDER - ELDER CATTLE CO LTD
Wawanesa MB
I'm quite happy with any interaction I've had with your company regarding hail insurance. Staff has been extremely professional, courteous and helpful. Payment was made promptly, and the cheque didn't bounce. All things for the win column.
Response from AG Direct Hail: We believe we have the best staff in the industry. 'Extremely professional, courteous and helpful' pretty much sums them up.
JEREMY GERMAN - GERMAN AG VENTURES
Kindersley SK
The personal touch means a lot to us, and we will certainly be purchasing our hail insurance through you in the future. Your genuine concern for clients is the reason I keep sending people your way. Keep it up!
Response from AG Direct Hail: Simply, we are passionate about our customers and our service.
WAYNE ZACHARIAS - BENT PINE FARM LTD.
Crystal City MB
I really like this concept in purchasing hail insurance. The games I have had to play with private adjusters in the past has left a bad impression with me. They seem more interested in resolving the claim as cheaply as possible rather than coming to a fair settlement. However, I was disappointed that I was again forced to use private insurance because the coverage available with AG Direct in my township was sold out very early, so the later seeded crops were not able to be insured through AG Direct. I think that you said you were looking into giving previous customers first dibs on insurance needs in 2016. I would like to be notified as early as possible, so that I don't miss out again.
Response from AG Direct Hail: Due to demand, we did close some townships across the Prairies. Farmers that have registered (without obligation) will receive an email notification in May when our rates are available. We encourage farmers to apply early.
ANDRE KLEINJAN - KLEINJAN FARMS LTD.
Purple Springs AB
We would like to thank you for how smooth the claims were dealt with and the quick
Response from AG Direct Hail: In 2016, we added a direct deposit option (instead of a cheque) to settle loss awards. The choice will be up to the customer....so payment will be even faster!
CHRIS & AMIE LINK
Langham SK
As a first year customer we have nothing but rave reviews for AG Direct Hail. Unfortunately we had to make a claim this year but that gave us the opportunity to view full circle how all the AG Direct processes work. Initially, purchasing insurance was really straight-forward and user friendly. The site is easy to use. When we did have to make a claim it was really easy to make a claim, no headaches of forms to fill out or paperwork! We were contacted in short order, and received our claim payout in a timely manner. Everyone we dealt with (AG Direct staff, adjuster) were very friendly and helpful! We have nothing but positive praise for AG Direct! We are extremely satisfied customers and have told everyone in the business to go through AG Direct! We will definitely be repeat customers and look forward to purchasing hail insurance through AG Direct in years to come.
Response from AG Direct Hail: We know we will have to earn the business of our customers each and every year by delivering on real savings, superior service and professional loss adjusting. We take nothing for granted.

CASEY KOOMEN - KOOMEN FARMS LTD

Just to keep it short and sweet.......it was very straight forward and hassle free. Just the way I like it. I will buy from you again for sure.

DANIEL GUILLAS - GUILLAS FARMS LTD.
Eden MB
Unfortunately I did incur a small hail loss this year. The claim process and settlement speed was excellent however, and I will surely deal with your company again next year. I have recommended AG Direct to others when discussing hail insurance and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks!
Response from AG Direct Hail: Farmers telling farmers about AG Direct Hail is incredibly important to us and we thank you.
DAVE SCHAEFFER - D & L SCHAEFFER FARMS LTD
Vibank SK
It was pretty nice doing up the hail online along with the savings being passed on to us. With the crop not too good for us this year every dollar saved is needed and appreciated. Not too sure about the 10% discount we took with the savings passed on for the premium but there is too much money left behind to be collected on a claim as serious as we had this year. But this is something we choose to do. One other thing the adjusters we had were awesome. We were very happy with their work, great guys and were pretty quick to get here. I like what you guys are doing and I think this is the way of the future. So thanks again and we'll be back. Hoping for a better year next year
Response from AG Direct Hail: We are proud of the adjusting team we have. Each team member is passionate about their role with AG Direct Hail and it shows in how they treat our customers.
JOHAN FEITSMA - JMF FARMS LTD
