"This season's devastating drought has proved difficult for many Illinois farmers. We have been with clients every step of the way to make sure that their crop claim is handled promptly and fairly, and that we provide them with outstanding claims service," says Jeff Gendron, senior vice president of Property and Casualty Operations for COUNTRY. "Our continued financial strength makes the dividend payment possible. We are pleased to return a portion of our clients' crop hail premium."

COUNTRY is the largest crop hail insurer in Illinois. The company provides crop hail protection to 3 million acres of Illinois crops valued at about $2 billion.
