Abstract: The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was modified to include hail weather events, completing modification needed to simulate the four most frequent causes of crop yield loss (hail, too wet, too cold, too dry) in the Kansas crop insurance program. Yields were simulated for corn, wheat, soybeans, and sorghum.
