The Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau coalition members have been instrumental in being a voice for the industry on Capitol Hill. Representatives from four of those coalition partners joined the CIRB annual meeting last week to talk about what they do to advocate for crop insurance.

The panel included Ed Elfmann with the American Bankers Association; Kay Rentzel of the National Peach Council; Jen McPhillips, Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America; and Robbie Minnich, National Cotton Council. Each obviously has a little different perspective on the industry so it was interesting to listen to their comments.
