The company offers extended equipment warranties and, p rior to the divestiture of the crop insurance subsidiaries (see Note 4), issued crop insurance policies. T o limit losses and reduce exposure to crop insurance claims, the company utilized reinsurance. Although reinsurance contracts permit ted recovery of certain claims from reinsurers, the insurance subsidiary was not relieved of its primary obligation to the policyholders. The premiums ceded by the crop insurance subsidiary in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $54 million, $288 million and $337 million, and claims recoveries on the ceded business were $65 million, $304 million and $294 million, respectively. The amounts from reinsurance are netted against the insurance premiums and fees earned and the insurance claims and expenses in the table above.
