Wilson County FAQ

Common questions from our local growers

  • What kinds of farms do you work with in Wilson County?

    We work with farms of all sizes — from large-scale row crop operations to small family-run farms. Most of the farmers we help grow a mix of soybeans, cotton, corn, peanuts, and tobacco. If your farm includes hay fields, pasture, or direct-to-market produce, we can also help you explore PRF and WFRP. Our job is to help you find the right policy, no matter your acreage or setup.

  • Is crop insurance really worth it for small farms?

    It can be — especially if a bad season would seriously impact your income. Many smaller farms benefit from Whole-Farm Revenue Protection or basic MPCI coverage. These policies offer a safety net without requiring you to commit to more than you need. We’ll explain the options and help you weigh the cost versus the risk for your specific operation.

  • How does acreage reporting work for fields across the county?

    We use USDA maps and FSA records to match your tracts with accurate acreage figures. You’ll get a free map book that lays everything out clearly, so there’s no confusion when it’s time to report. Whether your fields are around Lucama, Rock Ridge, or Elm City, we’ll make sure they’re tracked and organized properly.

  • What’s the difference between APH and Revenue Protection?

    APH policies are based purely on your past yields — they guarantee a certain number of bushels per acre, depending on your historical performance. Revenue Protection includes yield but also covers price drops, which can make a big difference if the market shifts after planting. We’ll help compare both using your own numbers.

  • Do you offer in-person support in Wilson County?

    Yes — we believe in walking fields and sitting down face-to-face when needed. If you’d like us to meet at your farm or bring your maps to town, just give us a call. We’ve worked with farms all across Wilson County and believe in showing up, not just mailing forms.
