What crops are commonly insured in Columbus County?
Farmers here often insure corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, and tobacco. Depending on your acreage and operation, specialty crops like vegetables or berries may also be eligible. We review your operation and location to determine which programs apply. If you grow multiple crops, we may also look at whole-farm coverage options.
Can I get coverage for both row crops and hay?
Yes — we frequently work with farmers who need MPCI for row crops and PRF for pasture or hay acres. These policies can complement each other as long as they’re set up correctly. We’ll make sure each piece of your farm is covered appropriately. This is especially useful for farms that rotate between crops and forage.
How does the process work if I’m new to crop insurance?
We’ll meet with you to walk through your options, explain the policies, and answer questions in plain terms. There’s no obligation — just information. Most farmers start by insuring their highest-risk or highest-value crops, then expand over time. We’ll help you take it one step at a time.
Are there deadlines I need to know about?
Yes — most crop insurance programs have deadlines in early spring, typically before planting. PRF and whole-farm policies have earlier deadlines in the fall. We track all that for you and reach out ahead of time so nothing is missed. Staying ahead of those dates makes everything smoother.
Do you serve farms in the western part of the county too?
Yes — we work with farms from Delco to Fair Bluff and everywhere in between. Whether your land is in one tract or scattered across different parts of the county, we’ll help map it, report it, and keep it organized. We’ve helped clients across Columbus County plan their coverage year after year.
