Lee County may sit on the edge of the Sandhills, but its farmland is rich with tradition and resilience. From grain farms outside Sanford to livestock and hay operations near Broadway, farmers here balance unpredictable weather and rising costs while continuing to care for the land. We work directly with growers across the county to make sure their crop insurance is clear, personal, and tailored to how they actually farm. Whether you’re planting soybeans on a few hundred acres or raising a mix of crops and cattle, we’re here to help plan ahead and respond when conditions turn.

What types of farms qualify for crop insurance in Lee County?
We work with row crop farms, cattle producers, hay growers, and mixed-use operations. Whether you farm full-time or as part of a family operation, chances are there’s a crop insurance plan that fits. We’ll review your acreage, rotation, and goals to help you pick what works best.
What are the main risks crop insurance helps with here?
This region sees everything from dry spells in early summer to tropical weather later in the season. MPCI helps when weather wipes out part of a crop, while Revenue Protection helps balance lost income from market swings. PRF covers pasture and hay acres if rainfall doesn’t come as expected. The goal is to reduce uncertainty when the unexpected happens.
Can you help smaller farms or new farmers?
Yes — we regularly work with small and mid-sized farms, including first-time insurance users. You don’t need to farm hundreds of acres to qualify for help. We’ll walk you through each step and make sure you understand what you’re signing up for. No pressure, no sales pitch — just real support.
Do I have to buy insurance for all my fields?
No — you can insure specific crops, fields, or even just certain types of acreage. We’ll help you decide what to start with and how to scale over time. Some farmers only insure their high-value acres or their pastureland — it’s completely flexible based on your needs.
Do you visit farms in Lee County?
Yes, we’ve walked fields throughout Lee County and believe in showing up when needed. If you’re farming outside Sanford, near Lemon Springs, or out toward Carolina Trace, we’ll gladly come out and talk in person. That’s how we build coverage that actually fits.
