California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner recently met with agricultural leaders from around the Fresno County area to discuss the January 2007 crop freeze and to review the status of freeze-related insurance claims.
The meeting took place at Bee Sweet Citrus packing house, which is only partially operating now as a result of crop losses from the freeze. Poizner declared a state of insurance emergency in January resulting in an impressive response from more than 170 out-of-state insurance adjusters, who helped in avoiding advanced economic disaster.
According to the California Department of Insurance, there have only been two freeze-related consumer complaints reported to the department – one agricultural and one homeowner policy, although thousands of crop loss and homeowners ' claims were filed as a result of the freeze.
