Dean Benson
Receives Outstanding
Service Award
Dean Benson was the recipient of the 2015
National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS)
Outstanding Service Award in recognition
for outstanding service and outreach to
small, limited resource, and socially disadvantaged farmers. Tim Weber, Chairman of
the National Crop Insurance Services Board
of Directors, and Tom Zacharias, President of
NCIS, presented the award at the 2015 Crop
Insurance Industry Annual Convention.
Mr. Benson has been in crop insurance for
23 years. He and his wife, Judi, started their
own agency in 1999 where he worked as an
agent/owner of the agency and only had three
employees. In 2008, Dean sold the agency
and went to work for Northwest Farm Credit
Services. He is currently the Senior Vice President of Insurance Services where he oversees
45 offices throughout Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana.

to promote and improve these programs for
the benefit of the growers. Dean does not consider crop insurance agents as salesmen, but
rather risk management consultants, tailoring
the tools available to growers to best fit each
individual situation.
Dean has also made a strong presence in
the Latino community. He has been involved
in Spanish speaking meetings as well as hiring
Hispanic individuals who have played a huge
role in the communication of crop insurance
with the Spanish speaking community.
