Insurance firm Zurich has added precision agriculture provider Climate FieldView to its portfolio of services available to customers of its crop insurance business, Rural Community Insurance Services (RCIS), in North America.

FieldView enables farmers to collect, store and analyse planting and harvest data on one platform, with dedicated customer support and data-driven recommendations.

According to Zurich, the addition of FieldView makes the process of recording and reporting a policyholder’s planting and production information simpler. By using technology already in use on farms, RCIS customers will have an easier connectivity option.

“We continue to focus on our customers, simplify our processes and innovate to create new products and services,” said Jason Meador, Head of RCIS for Zurich North America. “We’re excited to add FieldView to the suite of precision ag providers we offer our policyholders, and we will continue to invest in new technologies to bring added time-saving steps and insights to farmers to complement their existing digital agriculture services.”

“The addition of FieldView’s precision ag connection offers significant value to our policyholders for managing their farm production information and reducing their complexities,” said Nick Luett, RCIS Mapping Product Manager.
