Lenoir County FAQ

Answers for your farm, your region

  • What crops can be insured in Lenoir County?

    Corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, and tobacco are all eligible for coverage in this region. Some specialty crops, including produce and small fruits, may also qualify depending on the acreage and sales method. We review what you grow and how you market it to find the best match.

  • What type of weather risks are covered here?

    Lenoir County farms are especially vulnerable to tropical storms, hurricanes, and extreme rain during harvest season. MPCI and Revenue Protection can help soften the impact of those events. We also recommend PRF for livestock producers or anyone managing hay acreage — it helps when summer rains don’t come as expected.

  • I’ve got fields in different parts of the county. Can I still get covered?

    Absolutely. We help farmers with scattered acreage build policies that account for multiple tracts and FSA units. Whether your fields are in Sandy Bottom, Falling Creek, or right outside Kinston, we’ll create a plan that makes sense for your entire operation. Our free map books also help keep it all organized.

  • Do you work with first-time policyholders?

    Yes — and we make the process simple. If you’re new to crop insurance, we’ll explain the options without the jargon. Whether you’re transitioning into farming full-time or just want to protect one crop to start, we’ll meet you where you are. No pressure — just clear guidance.

  • Do you meet in person with farmers in Lenoir County?

    We sure do. If you prefer to walk your fields, sit down with a map, or go over the numbers face to face, we’re happy to do that. We’ve worked with farmers across this county for years, and we believe in earning your trust by showing up — not just sending forms in the mail.
