What is GreatAg?

GreatAg® is Great American’s web-based, "real time" electronic processing system that allows agents to service and manage all aspects of crop insurance policies.

This system can also benefit the grower by providing 24-7 access to all the terms and conditions of their policies and the status of every claim they've filed. The grower can also monitor their account with Great American and premium payments can be made online.
