What is the difference between a Quick and a Detailed Estimate?
Return to Top
A Quick Estimate is generated using a crop/commodity as the starting point and then all applicable insurance plans are listed. A Detailed Estimate is generated using an insurance plan as the starting point and then all applicable crops are displayed based on the user’s selected state and county. Detailed estimates also allow the user to select various options that can be sold with the insurance plan. The Quick Estimate does not allow options.
