Crop Insurance
in North and South Carolina
By Laurie Langstraat, NCIS
" If you really want to get in the weeds, or in a
lot of cases in the dirt with crop insurance, you
need to go out to the field. "
National Crop Insurance Services recently
did just that, traveling to North Carolina and
South Carolina to capture real stories of both the
farmers who rely on crop insurance and the people
who provide coverage advice. That's where we
met Ruth Fulford, a crop risk advisor and care
consultant with Flatlands Insurance Group in
Washington, NC.
Ruth, who is the recipient of the 2022 Crop
Insurance Outstanding Service Award for outreach
to limited resource and socially disadvantaged
farmers, is one of the many agents who
write crop insurance policies in North and South
Carolina. These policies protect crops such as
corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, cabbage, sweet
potatoes, sage, peanuts, produce and more. Collectively,
crop insurance protects 3.5 million
acres and more than $2.1 billion worth of crops
in North Carolina and 1.2 million acres and $645
million in South Carolina.
Farmers across these states trust crop insurance
to help them manage their risks. Farmers
like Rena Eure, who owns a family farm near
Herteford, NC, with her husband and son.
" What I love about farming is just being able to
be out in nature, put a seed in the ground and
watch it grow. "
The work of farming is the easy part, Rena
told us. It's the weather risks, financial stress, and
supply chain challenges that make farming difficult.
There is a lot riding on the line.
" If we don't have farmers, we don't have food
or the fiber you know, for the world basically, "
Rena said.
The challenges presented by weather volatility
was something we heard repeatedly from farmers
