Real Stories

“Crop insurance is the primary way that we can tell our bankers that we can make the payments.”

“They are feeding and clothing our nation and they need crop insurance to be able to move on to the next year if they have a multi-peril or hail disaster.”

“We are blessed with good ground, the ability to grow a good crop, and, if they can grow that crop, they are going to get paid far more than they would ever get paid by a crop insurance claim.”

“Losing a crop is very disappointing, especially when you are at the very end, you are close to harvest, you put all of this time and money into it, and then you lose it. That is when it is nice to have crop insurance.”

We’re into this because we want to raise crops, and the more bountiful, the more excited we become.

This year it's devastating. It was a combination of the lack of moisture and the high temperatures.

We want to see what the actual cause of loss is.

Going out in the fields this year is a thoroughly depressing experience.

Strong crop insurance is what has allowed those farmers to do the conservation needed in order for us to plant a crop in 2012.

What we learned from the drought of 2011 is that good policy can create survivors in an industry that otherwise would have no survivors.

I didn’t really understand the dynamics of crop insurance…but when a natural peril occurred, it paid off quite well.

This is a system that works. It does what it is designed to do.
