How Insurance mitigates the risk (weather, diseases and pests):
The insurance policy will insure your farm against the risks of physical loss or damage to crops caused directly by the following perils: Fire, Lightning, Aircraft damage, Windstorm Damage, Flood, Outbreak of Pest and Diseases. The standard coverage provided by this policy will pay for the production costs of crops that have been lost or damaged during the period from planting up to the maturity of the crop. All investments carry risks. Even with insurance, there may still be risk of loss.
