Jones County Crop Insurance
Insurance Support for Jones County Farms
One-on-one help rooted in local knowledge
Jones County may be small in population, but it’s big on agricultural tradition. From fields stretching along Highway 17 near Trenton to multi-generational farms near Maysville and Pollocksville, this area produces everything from corn and soybeans to hay and specialty crops. When a tough season hits — whether it’s a tropical storm in early fall or a dry spring — the right crop insurance policy can provide peace of mind. We’ve walked fields in this region, listened to farmers’ concerns, and built coverage that reflects the way people actually farm here. You won’t find cookie-cutter answers — just real help from a team that cares about your land.
Insurance Options for Jones County
Programs that match how you farm
We offer USDA-backed crop insurance plans designed to support the risks, crops, and growing conditions unique to Jones County. Whether your land sits along the Trent River or spans multiple tracts across the county, we’ll help you map it, report it, and protect it.
Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI)
Broad protection for natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and drought — commonly used for corn, soybeans, cotton, and peanuts.
Revenue Protection
Coverage that adjusts for market downturns, not just field losses.
Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP)
Best for operations growing multiple crops or selling locally — everything under one policy.
Actual Production History (APH) Policies
Yield-based coverage using your farm’s own records — ideal for tobacco and peanuts.
Livestock Risk Protection (LRP)
Price protection for ranchers and beef producers across rural Jones County.
Pasture, Rangeland & Forage (PRF)
Index-based policy for hay and grazing acreage during dry seasons.

What kinds of operations do you serve in Jones County?
We work with row crop operations, hay producers, cattle owners, and farms growing specialty produce. Many of the farmers we serve are multigenerational and have acreage across different tracts or leases. Whether you farm full-time or part-time, we’ll take the time to learn your operation and build a policy that fits.
What risks does crop insurance help with in this area?
Jones County farms are no strangers to severe weather — from summer droughts to late-season tropical systems. MPCI helps when those weather events damage your crops, while Revenue Protection also covers price drops. PRF helps when pasture or hay fields suffer due to lack of rainfall. Each policy addresses a different type of risk, and we’ll help you layer the right ones together.
What if I farm near rivers or low-lying areas?
Farms near the Trent River or other lowland areas face flood risk, especially during hurricane season. Crop insurance won’t prevent damage, but it can help cover the loss when you can’t harvest what you planted. We’ve helped many farmers in flood-prone areas secure the right protection. Our goal is to plan ahead so you’re not left guessing when the weather turns.
I’ve never signed up for crop insurance before. Can you help?
Yes — many of the farmers we work with were new to crop insurance at one point. We’ll explain the options in plain language and help you make a decision that works for your size and goals. You don’t need to be a big operation or know every policy detail up front — we walk through it together and take care of the paperwork with you.
Do you actually visit farms in Jones County?
Absolutely. We’ve visited fields in and around Trenton, Comfort, and throughout the county. We believe in showing up and talking face-to-face, not just handing you a policy. If you’d like to walk the land or go over maps in person, we’ll make it happen — just say the word.
