What kinds of farms are eligible for crop insurance in Cumberland County?
Row crop operations, hay producers, small-acreage specialty farms, and livestock producers can all be eligible. If you farm in the eastern part of the county, you likely qualify for multiple USDA-backed policies. We’ll check which crops are insurable based on your FSA tracts and planting plans. If your operation doesn’t fit into one box, we’ll explore whole-farm coverage options.
What if my farm is near Fayetteville or in a more urban area?
We serve farms across the county, including those located on smaller plots or in areas with more development pressure. Even if you farm close to town, you can still qualify for coverage if your operation meets program rules. We’ve worked with growers on both sides of I-95 and can help map out your eligibility.
Are pasture and hay fields insurable in this area?
Yes — many livestock and hay operations here use PRF to protect forage value during dry periods. The policy pays based on rainfall levels, not your harvest. If your grazing land or hay fields are important to your operation, we’ll explain how PRF fits into your plan. It’s a useful option for producers beyond row crops.
Can I cover both crop loss and income loss?
Yes — that’s where Revenue Protection comes in. It combines yield coverage with a layer that helps when prices fall before harvest. If your income depends on market prices, this kind of policy can help balance things out. We’ll compare it with APH and MPCI so you can choose what’s right for you.
Do you help with acreage reporting and maps?
Absolutely — we provide free map books to all our clients, and we’ll walk you through the reporting process each year. These maps include your FSA numbers, field outlines, and custom notes if needed. They’re especially helpful during planting, harvest, or claims. We build them ourselves and update them yearly.
